Nothing you say is a valid excuse for complete surrender which is what you're preaching. A responsible person will endeavor in the direction of maximum resistance via maximum encryption. I would rather serve requests at 1/10th the performance than volunteer user data to Cloudflare and the government.

What am I preaching, exactly? I think you misunderstand.

All I'm saying is that if you want security, you will not have it if using another person's hardware. It's that simple.

By painting security as a dichotomy, you're indistinguisable from a conman. It is not a dichotomy.
