That sounds pretty much like ransomware to me.

At this point, why even have desktop apps at all?
Teams and Outlook are basically busy glorified web browsers that load the online version… Now word is going to send your shit to the cloud whether you like it or not?
Google docs does this, but they don’t have a desktop app to deceive you with. You create the doc, and edit it where it is, on the cloud, using a web interface that’s vaguely “word”-like.
The only people this will “help” is all the inept business people that can’t figure out where to put their data so it’s not lost. There’s lots of those.

It’s way better than a web app! it ships with a separate browser the user has zero control over and with more permissions to abuse. \s
