I wish the new Microsoft SharePoint leadership would reconsider your approach to SharePoint on-premise environments.

As of late, the general attitude the new team has taken to the SharePoint on-premise Community has been "come on guys, catch up to modern times". However, you're forgetting that the greatest challenge to moving online is data governance. A lot of companies are just not set up to tackle it properly. With an on-premise SharePoint install, companies can at least solve a lot of their governance concerns by just restricting direct external access to their SharePoint farm. After all, how many corporations do you know that actually allow staff direct access over the internet to their corporate document management system?

I wish the new leadership would stop treating SharePoint 2019 like it's competing with Wordpress; and remember to a lot of people, SharePoint was a document management system with Wordpress-like features. Continuously implementing and advertising new features in SharePoint Online with no plans also introduce those features to SharePoint on-premise isn't going to entice people to move to SharePoint Online. Instead, it builds resentment and makes big companies revisit the idea of moving to other document management platforms. And before you turn your nose, remember a lot of us made our livings and businesses around those 200-staff/1000-staff companies with on-premise SharePoint installations. It's a hell of a thing to tell us Partners "well, tough [you know what]".
