Windows 365 SUBSCRIPTION remote desktop nonsense

I once found a Acer down the skip in 2018. In 2019 Swapped the I3 for an I5 and installed solid state drive, better power supply and graphics card and copied the Windows 10 across from the mechanical hard drive. I think it had a Windows 8 pro COA sticker and was already upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.
Now if I find a Windows 10 Home or Pro that I acquire I will delete it and remove the stickers and coa key after my ordeal with it:

For weeks in 2019 every day I was loosing me temper/getting angry and frustrated trying to trace as to why that was happening and it all seemed hidden at first. User wants it intentionally switched off and 3 processes; Updateorchestrator and two other hidden services was turning it back on behind my back. Tasks in taskscheduler created by UpdateOrchestrator was shutting the machine down unexpectedly/randomly. Now I class that as intrusion, harassment and bullying and refused to tolerate that appalling behaviour until I found the culprits, disabled or removed them.)
I remember it becoming very very slow at times, with high hard disk and cpu usage and when I found out what it was doing, it was updating all the "apps" in the apps store and that was when I discovered it got turned back on. What infuriated me further was finding unwanted "APPS" that I uninstalled in there returning with other stuff. The same kind of behaviour that I use to find with malware.
I now have a disc image of Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise 2019 that I made a few alterations that took me two years to get it near the way I want with fewer annoyances and to to stop that from happening which is likely to be the last one before I find something else.

This is not necessarily remote desktop nonsense, more probably it is portable desktop with cloud syncing and subscription "nonsense". Microsoft's version of Chromebooks.

Histrically , MS has developed "stuff for in-house use" and later made it to the market. ( windows phone -excluded :) )
netbui, windows for workgroups, visual studio for teams, now "teams", developer desktop etc.
MS like most "medium-to-large" companies has development happening all oever the place and this mess has to somehow get co-ordinated.
So if nother else this will help distribute the desktop to the least expensive worker a lot easier than the current remote-desktop-domain-user model.
Citrix has been bringing in a "a few bucks" with remote everything , or at least whoever bought them recently thinks so.
And someone at MS was looking for a new bandwagon to jump on.
Welcome to today!

It's the everlasting centralization-decentralization cycle. After the PC-to-cloud centralization there will be a cloud-to-whatever decentralization.

Yes and no.
Sure, on one hand, things are going in circles in the computing industry. One illustration of this is with "AI", the "edge" thing appearing as if it was something new.
But very large centralized systems are now here to stay nonetheless. Any "decentralization" from now on will just be for the sake of making more business opportunities, but not to replace the centralized stuff. So, as a complement. IMHO.
Unless of course there's a big revolution, something which is by nature almost impossible to predict.
