No, you're not a dinosaur. It is entirely reasonable for a hosting provider not to want certain content on their servers. And it is also quite reasonable to want to automate the process of scanning for it.

My physical device, on the other hand, is (supposed to be) mine and mine alone.

The data is only scanned when you attempt to upload it to the cloud in either case.

Apple scans the data on device before it is sent. Google scans it on it's own servers after it is sent.
