Are you really arguing that it’s not easier for the company supporting these products to deploy their software as a service in the cloud? I’ll buy cynicism around the data collection aspects of these things but one only need to look to the desktop application marketplace to see the broader trend. I’ve supported both self hosted & cloud hosted products for money. I know which one I prefer to work on and I’m surprised anyone in tech would disagree.
