Keep in mind, there are enterprise users which wouldn't want to get EVERYTHING in the cloud. They want to have possibility to work without connection to the Internet.
Also, if something happens with the cloud, you wouldn't be able to do anything.

I don't like storing my data on other peoples hardware.

It's weird to me that everyone seems totally fine with it too. You have no idea what happens to that data or how easy it is to gain access to. See: the fappening.

Internet is shitty in my 3rd world country, it would be a terrible idea. Imagine not being able to acess your stuff because you have no internet/it disconnected?

There are organizations where it is prohibited to connect workstations to the Internet.

I wish it was feasible to develop computer hardware that is free, i.e. the schematics can be shared and modified, the modified versions can be shared and users have the right to manufacture them according to the schematics. Imagine what would be possible.

There is no cloud. It is just someone else's hard drive.
