This was a very unwelcome surprise this morning when I sat down to work.
For what it's worth, I first switched to Insomnia from Postman, years ago, when they pulled a similar stunt.
Rest assured, although I created an account earlier (to gain access to my collections which simply seemed to disappear overnight), I'll be switching away from your product, so don't count that account creation as a win in your metrics. Not impressed with how this has been handled at all. It seems there are very few trustworthy companies in tech anymore.

Calling complaints noise does not aid clarity. And your sustainability concerns are noise to everyone else.
Reality is that Insomnia offers plenty of ways to still run locally, but now it does it in a sustainable way that allows us to improve the product even more.
I forgot to add that users can also create "Private Environments" which are always local and never synchronized with Insomnia Sync (in the cloud) or Git Sync.
