I definitely do so. I've tried half a dozen podcast apps in the past decade and being able to export my subscriptions as an opml or otherwise is something I pay a lot of attention to now. I've had to webscrape or do some really hacky things to access my data one too many times
Similar for notes and todo apps. I like to pull my data in, analyze it, visualize it, convert it to other formats, etc
Even when I don't yet have specific plans for my data I like to know I can pull it in and make local backups
Why? How often does anyone do anything with the data they've exported from some service?
Maybe it's just me. But I feel like starting over setting up all your to-do tasks and what-not is going to take less time then writing some script to parse data from one format and upload it to some new system. Especially given that there will be a delta in featuresets.
