Just make an airgapped Linux device on a DYI FPGA CPU. This part is not that difficult comparing to persuading commercial vendors let you use your own cloud and your own encryption/backup mechanisms.

Yeah... unfortunately it ought to be the other way around. They should have a hard time pursuading us to trust them enough to use theirs.

If your phone company asked you to give them the key to your house, in perpetuity, how would you feel about that? (Particularly if they insisted you sign a 15 page Terms of Use first that disclaims all their liability if anything goes missing).
