Yeah, but then you’re not self-hosting, you’re paying or using their free services to manage that for you.

Yup. And letting them collect data on what goes through their service is the cost.
If they adhered to somewhat modern security principles for their Backend I wouldn’t mind hosting it behind a reverse proxy. But since large parts of the API is unauthorized and unprotected, I wont.
And I do not plan on supporting family and friends in setting up vpns on all of their devices

What are the worries behind it? Last time someone was worried about the security it was about knowing filenames of the stuff you host by brute forcing iirc
The issue is their approach to security. I don’t trust them to properly secure their software, since they have proven to prefer client compatibility over security.

Understandable. I don’t worry that much myself since I haven’t heard anything bad happening yet. And with ro rights to media, potential damage at least should be pretty limited.
