It’s not like that’s a secret, it’s the whole point of their service.

The obvious sometimes needs repeating lest we forget the forest for the trees.

You are right, it does need repeating. Centralized control, means that at some point, they can decide to abuse that power to do whatever they want and at everyone else's expense. They can decide access, what can be seen, or what the "new" rules are and despite any objections.
