> Better even: you can let the user backup their data themselves! Whilst that's better for a small audience of techy types (most here, I'd guess), you know that's not true for most users, right? Like people used to lose work on hard drives and laptops that they hadn't backed up all the time and its much, much rarer now (OK, I don't have data beyond anecdata but still). | ||

> you know that's not true for most users, right? I do yes. It's good to have a choice. Many times the reason there is not a proper local export is that it would take more work to implement properly, and it doesn't bring money to the company. Again: companies exist to maximise profit. When making the product worse (or not making it better) improves their margin, they go for that. They don't care about the users, that's a big lie. A company fundamentally cares about profit. If competition or regulations mean that their profit is correlated to the users satisfaction, then they will have to work for that. But they don't do it "because they care about the users", ever. | ||
