Sorry, 99.99999% of the general population don't know what restic or rclone is. In fact, I won't be surprised if 90% of software engineers have never heard of them. These things aren't really know outside circles like hacker news.
As software engineers and the stewards of modern technology, we have a responsibility to build tools which enable capability for the rest of the people - particularly in the open source world.
People can't run their own encrypted messengers so we have Signal. People should be provided with interfaces, and advocated too, use cloud services for their data in a safe way.
