Windows is my daily driver and all my PCs run 24/7/52 unless they're sleeping while I commute with them 🤷♂️
(I also run Linux, BSD, and macOS.)

True, but if server owner pulls the plug, all the content you have there is gone. They can also unilaterally delete your posts.
I guess my point is ownership isn't as important as control.
SoundCloud vapes content and entire accounts all the time.
No reason given?
Mine is fully backed up.
Each instance has complete control over what is posted on it. The only way to truly own your posts is to set up your own instance and interact only with communities on it.
I doubt the president who lives on the internet & relies on it to connect with his superfans would disable it.
I can't imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn't own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.
The FTC tried & failed. They'll most likely fail here too. It's tough for courts to rule against what the FTC sees as unfair competition when even the judges are likely Amazon Prime & Big 3 ecosystem subscribers.
what's my best bet for a set & forget situation?
Deploy WingetUI and set it to automatically update everything as administrator. The nice thing about this solution is it scales to whatever 3rd party apps the user installs in the future.
It's about as close as you'll get to Debian's venerable automatic-upgrades on Windows.
I use Termux + Tasker for this exact functionality. I can provide the scripts and setup to anyone who's interested.
