> Worst-case example: Bootstrapped startup working in military.
That's the easiest case.
AWS Bedrock models running in AWS Secret Cloud for Industry. (I really have no affiliation with them, I'm just like... this is a completely solved problem, why do people think this is hard and requires on-prem hardware?)

I'm with GP that these are tinfoil hat concerns, when there are solutions to all of these, unless you're perhaps in some country with very specific needs beyond things like European sovereignty or US military secrets (like a non-US defense concern).
You seem to be categorizing everything that considers their data being in the possession of the US an unacceptable risk to be tinfoil hat, which is kind of an insult to a large portion of the world. If you haven't been paying attention to the news in the last 48 months, the political reality has shifted considerably.
Note that the other commenter never said US-based military oriented startup. You just assumed, then jumped to "heck yeah let's use Amazon Secret Cloud for Industry"
Not everyone has or wants an office in Crystal City.
