Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

    I think their current strategic goal is to turn windows in to an os as a service where little or nothing is locally stored. They want everything on msft servers, using msft storage, with an iPhone stlye walled garden where everything has to come from the msft store.

        That’s probably more about licensing costs, of course they could just eat the cost. It’s the same story for other stuff like HEIC.
