Listen. You can say what you want.

But when the simple solution to avoid saving to the cloud and using a local save. Is the exact same method one would use anyway, without OneDrive.

You can forgive me for not seeing what all the fuss is about.

Yes it is. Whether they realize it or just think it would be more of a hassle to solve it and instead just roll with it is another thing.

See. Now you're speaking for others. And it clearly ain't a problem or they would be fixing it.

Apparently, because you do not seem to process what I'm actually saying and keep ripping single issues out of context so you can downplay the whole problem.

One last try, directly delivered to your door, if you don't get it this time I'll stop wasting my time.
OneDrive being the default save locationnis just a small symptom of the problem that Microsoft wants you to totally submit to cloud- and subscription-based computing. You are not to own your system anymore, it is just rented, MS does not want you to operate on the local level. The customer is losing control over a system they are more and more depending on in a more and more digitalized world. And it's not that it is just an option like where you save a file. It gets harder and harder to use a Windows PC without subscription services. You cannot even set up local users without some workaround most users are not educated enough to even find a tutorial for or realize why it is a problem.
See what the fuss is about now?
