There's a million Chinese companies that can provide mice. These people really don't know what they're doing. They're all from the same schools that pushed business as a service models. That's really not how the real world works. People like to own things, people like to have unlimited access to things. As these idiots push more of this shit, hacking will make a massive come back. It used to be that they would be fancy software behind a pay wall so you would download a cracked version of it. Something like a mouse that you need a subscription? Cracked mice all day long, total abandonment of Windows.

What you say might be true for at least oldschool nerds and at most the majority of our generation, but lots of boomers and x-ers will adopt shit like this because it's "easier" than hunting down the older, simpler hardware, and zoomers and especially alpha will grow up with shit like this and accept it as normal; to them, standalone offline hardware will seem backwards and lacking features.

Gen X grew up with computers. They are the CEO's now. Most of them will not accept this if they have an in house IT team. Which many companies do not anymore as they out source all IT to India.

Nah, us older zoomers still remember when you bought a game and it was complete and there was no monthly fee to play it, and Gen Alpha will probably have to worry more about fighting nogs for food to have extra cash to pay to Consoom Product as a service.

I think you have a point. It will become normalized to a certain extent... but with continued pressure to integrate this plan, people will naturally try to get around it. It will force more people to find new vendors.
