Quite possibly, but I just thought I'd express an alternative POV. I've never cared much about "doing what everyone else does" where technology is concerned. I like to make up my own mind.

The 'Gadarene Swine Fallacy' states something like "Just because the group is in formation doesn't necessarily mean it's heading in the right direction".

I'm not sure that security is necessarily the main consideration, it's more a case of taking control of one's own books and the access to them, rather than relying on some corporate entity's dreadful software. I can only speak for myself but my personal cloud storage is merely a convenient means to an end. I don't rely on it as my sole backup.
