First with Chrome, now with OneDrive. What exactly are they trying to do with these "explanations" aside from annoying their user base?
I suppose they think they can gather more information on user habits and user interaction with onedrive to determine how to reduce user loss.
If so, they should pay for Q/A and/or focus testing themselves. Not freeload off from forcing users.
I can already see that this won't gather them any data that is actually useful for analysis.
it's barrier to exit
Guilt tripping.
Pushing subscriptions and vendor lock-in. They harass you to use OneDrive so they can later harass you to pony up for a 365 subscription.
the enshittification of chrome sucks since i used to love it
