I don't know about no-one. I have three laptops, one desktop, one media PC, one server, one tablet, and one phone. The cloud movement has been helpful to say the least.

Obviously I don't speak for everyone, but I think "no one wanted it" is a stretch.

No one wanted this implementation. There are plenty of ways of solving exactly the problems without the amorphous concept of the cloud without introducing any burden on the user.

I have a 3 desktops, 2 laptops, a NAS and 2 servers and have solved the problems transparently without any cloud services.

Yes you did, you just did it at a personal level. Most consumers are not that tech-savvy. Windows may not be for you, but it is for the masses.
