"Your files wouldn't have been deleted if you used Microsoft OneDrive backup"

And then they integrate that solution back into the operating system so that its all just as exposed as if it were locally stored anyways.

Cloud sync makes even using a virtual container not a guarantee you won't lose files. Deleting isn't as bad as changing the file and ruining it. Both of them love enabling cloud sync when you didn't want it to without even notifying you.
