It’s astonishing to me that Microsoft is letting go of all these users because someone drew something on whiteboard that looked like “force Microsoft Account on all users -> ??? -> Profit”, and has repeatedly done the same with Teams,

The way Medium used my non-monetized account as a subscription/registration trampoline. I was basically always behind a registration/pay wall against my wishes.

Apple Music has a native Windows app (and surprisingly not Electron), but it's quite unstable and laggy, and makes me deal with "authorize this computer" or whatever every week. So, practically equivalent to having no native
