Once all computing is in the cloud there are going to be a lot of new barriers.
I could see everything you do being monitored for the implementation of unauthorized types of software for example, not to mention total surveillance and appropriation of everything you do.
“We’re sorry but it appears that the software you are implementing might be able to be used to facilitate communication without the required safeguards. Your project has been locked.”
Meanwhile if the center of gravity goes entirely to managed cloud services the endpoint will wither even more. I can see a future where you can’t even buy a general purpose computer except in the most raw form like SBCs or parts and doing so might even get you on a list.
Look at the EU chat control stuff or the crazies who want to ban matrix math. This is not that far fetched.
