There has been, and always will be, going forward, those who actually whish to hold works of art in their hands, hence vinyl being coming a media darling and healthy market for reel to reel tapes and used CDs.
The reason the previous generation stopped paying for music is that it was just a bunch of files on their laptop..there was zero attachment.
So comparing electricity to media streaming is kind of off the mark.

Local storage means local possession. Cloud storage means you don't actually have what you think you have- and it can all be taken away without warning. I see the cloud evolving to a "legitimate" ransom scheme where you have to pay to have access to what you thought you owned. Many software companies are moving to a cloud based subscription model. Google offers a cloud based storage service, at a cost. What happens if you don't pay ? Hardware that restricts your ability to store locally only serves to push you to the cloud.
Apple is no better or worse in this regard. Apple buyers on the other hand blindly accept what Apple mandates, and would cry bloody murder if Microsoft tried to do the same things....

Disclosure- we have several iPhones and an iPad. Only one child prefers a MacBook (pro), the rest of us are steadfastly PC.
Great post.Totally agree.
Full disclosure here, Mac Mini, iPads, and iPhones in the house too.
And I agree, Apple is NOT the main villain in the cloud movement, they are
trying position themselves and capitalize, but so is everybody else.."Apple is no better or worse in this regard. Apple buyers on the other hand blindly accept what Apple mandates, and would cry bloody murder if Microsoft tried to do the same things...."
That about nails it...
