I'm not refuting your point here but it feels like on HN everytime we hit any web topic there are the kind of comments about "wait but this could happen / what if the website owner is malicious / included some wonky code he doesn't know about, etc".
They're not wrong, but also not the point of the article.
>As the maintainer of Excalidraw, I now sleep much better at night. If the hosting service gets compromised, it doesn’t really matter as none of the content can be decrypted without the key.
This seems to be the point of the article, and valid IMO. Yet on HN more and more we get dragged off on these larger state of the web topics. They're not wrong either, but I feel like the volume sort of drown out the point / valid topics too.
