He didn't understand what a server is, but he also didn't understand what M365 or the cloud are, and didn't want to change to something he didn't know.
He was a senile old man who employed 3 people doing nothing, running on momentum and dipping into intergenerational wealth.
The business was built on leveraging connections to other wealthy people and became successful before the Internet was a thing.

Incredible. Glad you were able to take some of his money!

Yeah, at some point we started billing him for the useless discussions he forced on us, when he refused to let us work on his systems cause he didn't understand why updates are necessary.
The minute he disputed the first of these bills, we fired him as a customer.
Then he couldn't find another MSP willing to work with him on his terms for >6 months while his internet, email and file server were down the entire time.
Then I left the company for a job with less useless bullshit.
