Actually, its the reverse. Microsoft is trying to shoehorn a mobile interface onto the desktop. Users of Mountain Lion have complained that Apple is trying to "iOS" OS X. The GNU Project have made a similar mess of GNOME 3.

Re: Who does this actually benefit?

Facebook do not have total ownership of anything you upload. Read their T&Cs!

Ditto with Twitter...

You retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed).

Exactly. Or at a mundane level, by their logic you could say that purchasing a car is proof that you intend to use it as a getaway vehicle.
