While I tend to agree with your ethical stand point, I think it's unfair to blame them for not pushing a self hosting platform. Without first gathering the personal info of the users they would never had the clout to push anything. They had to obtain a large level of popularity in order to push anything.

That's a fair point - think of all the attempts to displace them (cough diaspora). But that's also why the onus falls onto them now, right?
