Users protested in what we think was a completely justified rebellion, and Cisco quickly back-pedaled to save face. Witness Cisco's "Connect Cloud" program that replaced the traditional management interface for wireless routers with a cloud-connected one that was less useful and contained some bizarre anti-porn and anti-piracy terms of service.
We've seen really bad implementations of cloud connectivity for devices that simply don't need it. That's sometimes good, and sometimes bad, so when a basic device like a mouse requires a user to go online and set up an account to activate all of its functionality, people are understandably going to ask why? In this hyper-connected, networked world, many more of our devices are getting linked to the cloud, whether we want them to or not.
