I think that's just the point here: yes, strictly speaking they are, but practically speaking the alternative is to put the user's cybersecurity at risk.

If you ask just about any user, they will say they prioritise their cybersecurity over the purity of their Free Software stack. The FSF seemingly disagree. That disagreement is an important one.

I don't know. You can spin a lot of stuff as cyber security.

Hosting all stuff in cloud does prevent getting locked by some ransom ware.

Plus security isn't an absolute. A determined enough actor could always hack you.
