Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore’s law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense.

It’s not really a law and it’s not true anymore.
There is, and it’s not too different from central heating.
You could live 20 years with the same dumb terminal, while on the remote side you could rent better and better hardware.
I like p2p networks and think socially it’s better to have a decentralized way of providing such resources and paying for them.
But the benefit of renting computing resources is obvious. Except I like the idea of having a local system, and offloading some tasks to remote performers, not renting a remote system.
I mean, of course they want the world working their way and that’s what they are offering. If those thinking differently can’t compete, then that’s how it happens.
