isn't that the price you pay for using any online sharing thingy? you gain easy sharing+access (because it's "on someone else's computer"), but lose control. if it makes information easily accessible (contrast with xeroxing paper docs), i think it's a decent trade-off.

it'd be nice if we weren't reliant on one service provider, but idk any good alternatives.

i don't get this part. would you criticize the widespread usage of MS Office as "those people aren't prepping to work for Microsoft"?
