Finally, I'm not the only one noticing this.

I've long said that the moment "My Computer" changed to "This PC", it showed how MS really thought of your computer as theirs that they so graciously allow you to use once in a while.

Never even paid attention to the change.

My hardware, my PC.

Then again, I'm used to enterprise environments where there are multiple users profiles, where "this computer" makes sense.

Oddly enough, the old joke was "it says My Computer because Bill Gates thinks it's his."

I do agree with the sentiment of the meme and your comment.
