My point is that you should care about privacy, even if you're using, for example, apple services. Thinking that nobody has the resources to hack a company that big isn't an argument and has just been disproven.

In other words, if you have plans to ever be a politician that china may not want in any position of power, don't store your nudes on icloud/dropbox/google drive, or they may suddenly get leaked when you least expect it and ruin your career in favor of a more... Shall we say "convenient"? ...alternative.

I’m not saying nobody has the resources to hack a company. I’m saying few companies have the resources to detect such a sophisticated hack. Therefore my infra is probably safer with, say, Amazon vs my local colo.

You are correct that individuals seeking personal infosec against state actors must be eternally vigilant.

Disproven on speculation?
