So had I, until I actually tried to sign up. Have a look at the way they treat you when they have (unfounded) suspicions. It's beyond ridiculous.

So many problems just disappear when your prices are (relatively) expensive…

Maybe. But price is still one of the larger concerns for many people. When I checked this a couple of years ago, it seemed like Hetzner’s Storage Box (the one sorta competes with your rsync.net) had a much lower price, a much larger capacity per dollar/euro and more storage tiers.

They ask for a government ID in some cases. I was able to provide one with some details masked, and they wanted the name on my account to match the name on the government ID. This is a commercial transaction, not Facebook. So I was kinda ok with that. But it is weird and ridiculous.

Whether to provide proof is at least a choice you get to make, but in my case even that wasn't on the (empty) table.
