I'm not convinced there's any significant overlap between "people who are worried about which subprocessors have their data" and "people who don't think that eight subprocessors is a lot"

I mean, two of them are cloud vendors. The rest just seem like very boring components of a (somewhat) modern data pipeline.
The issue isn't the vendors themselves necessarily but the quantity of them. Plenty of boring things over the years have had security vulnerabilities that end up with data getting leaked, so each additional one is just more risk even if you trust them not to be actively malicious. All it takes is one well-meaning but careless vendor to make the whole house of cards collapse.
