Really? How can you even know which services or products depend in some way on GCP, Azure, or AWS (not to mention product and services that are built using other services that depend on those)?

Why do I care if some service uses them? I severely restrict service usage anyway.

Because you said

So if "some service" that you use uses them, then you're not doing anything you want without them.

I rarely use services anyway because it is typically a bad idea to get so intertwined with software that I can't control.
