It makes you entirely dependent on their cloud and vulnerable to their bugs, yeah. It's ridiculous.
As a nice example of the downsides, due to a few clicks while removing a friend's trial account, 1P irrevocably deleted their data immediately. Which was not clear and was not desired. (Not a bug per se, just "wait what, heck no I didn't mean to do that / didn't know it would do that immediately and with no explanatory prompt")
If they hadn't worked so hard to kill off their local backups, it would've been easy to restore access. Instead nope, and they lost quite a few customers immediately.
