The OS itself is tolerable but the mindset that goes

You mean things like:
- limiting how much CPU time you can get per month
- limiting what commands are available to you
- limiting your network access
- limiting your disk space
- limiting the hours when you can logon
- limiting the hours when you can run certain programs
Oh wait, those are all the things that were done on vintage computing
environments, sorry.
