You say this like it makes sense that this functionality isn't the default. Why the fuck does that make sense to you?!

The idea is that you can have more data online than you can fit on your computer.

It makes sense for SharePoint when there can easily be enough data to cause space problems on employee computers.

It doesn’t really make sense for it to be the default for personal OneDrives though.

It also allows IT depts to deploy thin clients for a fraction of the cost of a full desktop (along with the crap performance for actual multitasking).

It is the default, but some IT people decide to set shit up a particular way that makes things stupid, and some even lock those settings for some dumbass reason..

You're the only one who talked about if it makes sense or not, calm down and go for a walk
