All popular modern popular software? You don't get to "install" media apps anymore. Many games are simply thin clients into someone else's server. Office and many professional productivity tools (Adobe) converted from "software you buy and install" to "software you pay a monthly subscription to keep using". all your chat apps are basically mini web-browsers under the hood in terms of overhead instead of a small thin-client.

These are the largest pieces of software people use, and there's more bloat and less control than ever.
