Data residency absolutely makes a difference, and I find it stunning that people don't see it.
Ok, so you decide to store your nation's sensitive data in another country, $nation. If things get awry, there is a (pretty remote) risk that $nation will break your encryption. But there's also a much less remote risk that $nation will simply block all connections from your country and prevent you from accessing your own data. How do you deal with such a threat?
