Well, if you read what I wrote, am not paranoid about it nor chastising, just making a comment. I see no sense nor safety in it. And, my case was really -- why do we need it now, we haven't needed it for hundreds of years, until it suddenly becomes available, and the PR hype is 'danger, don't lose your stuff. Pay me to save it'. But as you gave example, it still ain't safe.
SO, my question remains unanswered: What did we do with it before 'online storage' ... why is that suddenly 'unsafe' ... and in fact, how much of what we save online is really necessary in life. So, it's more about a waste of money than paranoid.
I still have my original birth certificate, and it's pretty dang old. :)
Like you said, folks keep stuff that is worthless and easily replaceable, and spend money doing it. I'd rather spend it on gas and campsites. :)
