Before the 2010s ruined software, you generally:

- Purchased or downloaded a software package.

- Installed it onto your local machine.

After that you were free to do what you liked with the software.

Now software generally:

- Runs on someone else's computer, or is at least locked behind a login.

- Is served to you through a web browser.

- May be revoked or changed without notice at any time.

For this reason, regardless of reliability or capability, software was generally better in the past.
