I was just trying to see how you’re thinking about the possible lock-in and dependency on those platforms… also exposing my real concerns with them.
To be honest I couldn’t self host anything if I’d had the fear of being lost if a tool is discontinued.

A document management solution however is a long term thing that holds important documents.
