Lee Drake I fully understand your point. I personally suspect, however, that raising concerns in User Voice, the "official" product feedback forum, will get a lot(!!!) more visibility than a bunch of us cantankerous users buried here at the bottom of an old, old, single blog post.
Think about it... suppose that the suggestion I linked earlier ( https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/327186-onenote-for-windows/suggestions/32737648-include-onenote-for-desktop-in-office-2019 were to jump rapidly from the current 2,929 votes and go viral to many, many more because all of the folks complaining in here were to upvote the suggestion, and we all started spinning the social media machine (Twitter, anyone???), what sort of impact might that have?? https://twitter.com/Ed_at_1E/status/1161648313659269120?s=20
