If Apple can access your account, they can see any device location the same as you. Which means that three letter agencies also have access

What channels do you use on wifi? If you you use DFS channels on 5GHz it could be a radar issue that forces your router to switch channels. I have it as well, but it happens at night so I'm not terribly concerned about it (my router sends me notification thats how I know).

It is the opposite, LiIon/LiPo batteries are inherently dangerous and can cause chemical fire for various reasons (overcharging, undercharging, puncture, high temperature, etc.). These things are monitored/controlled in any modern application in normal usage, but in a crash you have to remember that you are literally few inches away from a massive stored up potential chemical energy. The fire burns very hot, the smoke is toxic and assuming somebody gets to you in time, it can only be extinguished reliably using special dry powder fire extinguishers (Class D)...

Excited! Let's load some data and try it out!
Ok, let's use OneDrive to load data. Where is that option?
Nvm, let's use Dropbox instead. Does not work "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page."
Maybe Azure storage? Trying to sign-up, filled sign-up form, verified account via SMS, entered CC data. Nope! "Cannot proceed with signup due to issue with your account. Contact support". (tried multiple times)
Contacting support.. creating incident, describing the issue. When trying to attach screenshot I get "The file upload service server is not available at this time. Wait a few minutes and then try it again."
Seriously, Microsoft??

The more likely problem with this one is that the key will get lost, since it cannot be attached to keyring and you have to take out of the pouch every time you use it.
