Also no privacy at all, ever. Every single keystroke is watched. Everything you run is profiled. All your data is logged, scanned, probably stored forever, and probably data mined. It'll start at work of course but eventually the whole ecosystem will shift and it will no longer be possible to develop software without the cloud watching every single thing you do. Someone doesn't like what you're building? It will suddenly vanish and take all your work with it. Price goes up? Tough. Pay the rent or all your work vaporizes. This whole trend is deeply, distressingly dystopian. It's a total inversion and reputation of the whole concept of personal computing and everything associated with it, a return to the mainframe era but worse because big data and AI make mass surveillance and automatic control so easy. It's equally distressing that most developers don't even understand the trend enough to push back on it. They don't grasp the fact that the difficulty of local system administration and the general over-complication of everything is driving this, so they don't address any of those problems. In fact they keep making them worse. Development environments keep getting more and more complicated and fragile, making a move to a shared centrally managed cloud environment more and more tempting.
