Because it’s just unnecessary. Due to their nature, you want a few services reachable from anywhere, anyways. There’s no reason for the average consumer to acquire hardware for this purpose. Just rent the service or the hardware elsewhere, which also reduces upfront cost which is ideal in situations where you cannot know whether you’ll stick with the service.
Again, it’s either extreme that’s absurd. You don’t need your own video streaming platform for example. In rare cases, sure. For the vast majority of people, Netflix is a much service however.
The idea that you should fly with exclusively self-hosted approaches is equally absurd to the idea that you should just blindly trust everyone.
Plus, if they have, as you say, “enough” data already, then surely giving them more doesn’t actually hurt you in any way, shape or form?
