An oddity that has been around for a while. It was a fairly simple client on Windows 10 too. We used to use it for my mum to access her Gmail as it was so simple.

Moving from a local client to a Web based client is all about moving windows and it's software to a cloud based service. For that to work all your data needs to be remote in the cloud too. This is about what is good for Microsoft, not it's users.
