So what's being proposed here? Why bother and just use US clouds?

Don't let 'perfect' be the enemy of 'progress'.
Exactly. Why bother and own yourself?

I always snarked at clueless CEOs bent on forcing me to sign NDAs while the entire infra _and_ data was living in US from the get go. Like, what's so sensitive I'm going to disclose that wasn't voluntarily disclosed by yourself already?

People are at least as concerned with who data is disclosed to as they are with what data is disclosed.

I am sure the US government has everything from my banking records to my biometrics to my medical history.

That does not mean I would be ok with all of those things being posted on the open web (yes, some / all may already be).

Employers are generally more concerned with disclosure to competitors than they are with possible collection by US intelligence.
