This is exactly what Apple has already done to the iTunes world, music you had a decade ago is suddenly inaccessible

> [...] music you had a decade ago is suddenly inaccessible

Music bought via iTunes doesn't have any DRM since 2009.

But even without DRM, if you go with the default settings and don't download your music locally, you lose access to it if they decide to remove it from their catalog. Same goes for movies/TV shows; I've had both disappear from my iTunes library at various points.
Do you have an example of this?
What is this referring to? Mine seems to work fine.
