Isn't this already the default?
I have to change it on every single fuckin document already. Have done so for years now at work.

No they won't
Most customers don't want their users saving locally anyway for data protection and not having to do extra compliance and workstation management.
Of course folks here are acting like setting a default they don't like is insane chaos.
I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea. Too many people are still not backing up their data, and the article says "...automatically save to OneDrive or your preferred cloud destination".
As long as they really give users full freedom to choose any cloud service, I consider that a win.
