I think the idea is to realize if you have data on Apple, is it also synced and available offline on your computer?
I have all my photos on iCloud. But they are also in the Photos library with full resolution on my computer. If apples locks my account, I don’t lose my photos.
Same thing with Dropbox. Synced but still available on my computer.
Same with Gmail. Synced with Mail on Mac. Downloaded regularly.
I simply try to make sure my data is always on my computer and migratable. Not the application itself.
