> Surprised to see the level of anger here about this.

Anger could be due to:

1) Kill competition by offering product at a loss.

2) Once competition is dead and people are invested in the product and ecosystem, start charging.

And "competition" in this case isn't just other photo cloud service companies, it's also the entire habit and ability of offline bulk data handling. Having opted for a smartphone without microSD because storage was low priority, having favored the ISP when it was time to decide between spending money on more bandwidth and spending money on an NAS, these things. People have become addicted not only on the mental level.
