I stopped using Apple/Amazon/Microsoft stores for this exact reason. Have switched to personal media server with access via WireGuard vpn

And when your house burns down or is broken into?

Backups to some (non google/apple) cloud provider or something like rsync.net / hetzner storage box / backblaze b2 / online.net storage / etc etc. Or trade off-site backups with a friend/family that also self-hosts all their own stuff. It's all encrypted anyway, so no problem ;)

At least it would be covered by his homeowners insurance. Don't think insurance covers icloud access.

if broken into, data encrypted at rest/on disk so idgaf there

if house burns down, I restore from an offsite backup that syncs on a nightly basis

no worries. fuck "the cloud"
