People vote with their wallets. If they buy stuff that's cloud and subscription based, that's the world we're going to live in tomorrow. Big corporations are of course very happy to proceed - it gives them a lot of power, control and higher profits (e.g. Adobe has drastically increased their sales since moving their programms to a subscirption model).
And IMHO it's a done deal. Almost no one nowadays listens to MP3s, rather than Spitify or Apple Music. Few people buy or download movies, rathen than subscribing to Netflix and other streaming services. Most people are accepting the requirement that they need an online account to use an iPhone, Chromebook or a Windows PC.
