You seem to be missing the point. More and more manufactures are NOT offering local storage as an option in more and more products. We think that's bad. Especially in security and privacy related stuff.

Any desire you or anyone else might have to use the various OSS options (cloud, Iron Mountain, whatever) has nothing to do with that. We're not saying they should take away the options that meet your needs, we're saying they are wrong to have removed the option that meets ours. (It was ALL local before The Cloud).

And I'll add that if you want OSS, having a local removable media option gives you another choice of rotating the media and storing it off site...so you are definitely on the same hand.
