I hate using services and having my data all on some remote service w/ little options for privacy and safety/backup, etc.

How would non-tech users handle backups?

By copying a data file to a USB flash drive?

Anecdotal, but I don’t think many non-tech users have used a flash drive in the last couple years.

They could choose a Saas service (Dropbox, iCloud, WinBin/whatev). Hell, I'd probably do this but encrypted where I like.

In this way you'd have the data storage decoupled from the app so the choice would be there.
