If I lose my ssh key I lose access to any data on my server, too with no recourse and we are fine with that.

It's a trade-off but some people can take care of their keys and prefer that risk which they've covered over a risk that a third party can take control which they can't cover. It's fine if you are not one of those people but not everyone has your needs.

Do you? Most hosting setups will have other ways to get to the data.
