Everybody says this until they get fucking pwned at work or have their own data or children's data taken and used.

You call it paranoia, I call it zero tolerance for enshitification.

It's like the Nazi bar problem. You need to be vigilant to prevent the thing you rely on becoming yet another platform for Microsoft to exfil your personal data to NSA servers.
