It’s a choice. There is no lock in.

oh definitely. I haven’t uses a Google service in 5 years. But Google’s lock in is not forced, is the one that relies on people tech illiteracy, comfort and not knowing better.

I disagree. It’s easier to use.
Look I have commits to PHP, python, cncf, and hasicorp shit. Running that stuff takes effort and skill. I design and implement multicloud fail over resiliency apps professionally. I have zero fucking desire to run jellyfin at home.
Google offers variable services and you don’t need to be a tech illiterate boomer to find value in the services they offer. I don’t want to have to explain why a raid failure lost 20 years of photos and Google is going to put a hell of a lot more effort into that than I will.
