From the web page:

>Chrome OS is for people who live on the web. It runs web-based applications, not legacy PC software.

Google apparently thinks that being in control of your own computer is a "legacy" concern.

I guess directly empowering users is out of date, while trusting Google unconditionally with all your personal data is the new, hip, digital totalitarian future.

Google does let you export data in many instances, to be fair.
