Yep, and lots of people do. If anything, I'm the odd one out, not you. That weight of numbers means the big companies are not going change their minds and start caring more about security and privacy because there's nothing in it for them.
I'd also add that I, too, use the fast and convenient services of Google and Microsoft (but not Amazon so much, I sell through them but I don't buy through them). I'm just careful about how much I tell them, and I am even more careful about how I let different services mix (what gets to "talk" to Google and vice versa). So it's not an either/or problem. It's just a matter of taking some personal responsibility for my information.
