I don't understand why you're complaining the web app requires it to be in OneDrive first: this is no different than Google Docs requiring it to be in your Google Drive first.

Apps loading files off your disk is highly problematic, and these apps are ran at least partially server side (both Office365's and Google Doc's).

This is a feature, not a bug.

I don't see it as him complaining about the OneDrive requirement per se, but about how that means that since OneDrive doesn't have a Linux client, he's forced to use the web interface, which then forces him to suffer through repeated attempts to try to get him to download OneDrive clients even though platform isn't supported.
