It's not annoying at all. It's peace of mind. People are just not used to it

No, its kidnapping your data to keep you trapped as their customer. If you want peace of mind, you can make your own backups.

I didn't criticize anyone, I didn't disrespect anyone, so it's surprising getting this many downvotes and answers.

Still, it's your opinion, and I will still share mine.

Local backups have their flaws, just like cloud backups.

I have 1TB storage using my school account. I am constantly changing between devices, and I like having my files always accessible.

Everything important, I keep in two local backups (external HDD and SSD).

The only thing I dislike about onedrive, is the sync of desktop, documents and images folder. I have turned that off, but my docs folder still appears to be syncing with onedrive.

Besides that, it's the best thing for me. And like I said... "Peace of mind". Just because you don't like that, it does not mean it is a bad solution.
