No because say your cloud provider recycle your hard drive to another client with a bad password, then the attacker not only can access the data of the other client but can run a file recovery tool and get some of your files.

Most providers don't erase disks properly. Takes too much time.

AFAIK most providers who don't erase disk get them destroyed. At least in EU.

Don't use Password managers because someone can always root a server and unerase deleted files.

Logic. Win.
