That would completely undermine their "free" (selling their customers as a service) model. For privacy-minded, the centralist cloud model seems to be irreversibly dead. P2P clouds are currently too unreliable unfortunately. What we need is end to end reachability (IPv6) and sufficient upstream for residential connections, all running on low-power no-movable-part systems (embedded/SoCs). Most of that is still in our future. > are not related or signed by a central authority key.
