    I agree with everything you said, but (in Microsoft’s eyes) this is a feature - not a bug.

    Without this cloud component, how could:

    • Microsoft make sure that the accounting team does not introduce a malicious/old Python library into the Excel file?
    • Microsoft protect its users from writing/running inefficient, buggy, or malicious Python code?
    • Microsoft provide a Python runtime to users who do not know how to install Python?
    • Microsoft charge to run code that you wrote in a free, open source software programming language on a device that you own?
