The bank is just someone else's money, the grocery store is just someone else's food, the OS is just someone else's code.

I used to use that cloud quip, until I researched what IaaS is and accepted there can be benefits. And note, that quip is usually used for IaaS, not SaaS.

That all said... This seems like a really shitty rugpull by the company.

Not good examples IMHO. The bank is legally your money. The OS can be freely reinstalled without hassles.

As for stores, they all have the same way of purchasing stuff, and if they all shut down, society would collapse and you have bigger problems.
