Normal people don’t give a shit where stuff is hosted, or if it’s hosted at all. The vast majority of people couldn’t care less what happens to their catpics if their phone gets crushed and they don’t want to use a separate messaging platform just to talk to you.
The things you think are important absolutely don’t matter to them. Most people don’t give a single second of thought to where their documents should live, and will just download it again on a second device instead of synchronizing anything.

Europe has a shitload of requirements that shares must meet in order to be sold to your average private person, including stock info in your native language, and a proper risk assesment.
That’s an odd argument, since DIY takes significantly more time than just buying a solution.
