Thanks, thats an aspect that didn't occur to me. I have some experience with EDA (Electronic Design Automation) systems at the hobbyist level, and managing/versioning even simple design artefacts can be a pain. I can see how pro-level CAD would present considerable challenges. That said, there is obvious scope for vendor lock-in when designs are cloud hosted.

There is unfortunatly vendor lock in with all “pro” cad. It’s a bit like Photoshop, you can take the output jpeg or bmp, even the layers and use it else where but no other software has full comparability with the psd format. Vendor lock-in is just the cost of doing business.
