Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.
The technically inclined were the worst offenders, they always felt like they knew better than the defaults but they never actually set anything up.
OneDrive sucks but it is better than losing everything because your shit suddenly dies.
All I ever see is most people using (whatever system cloud provider comes with their computer/phone/tablet) and forking over $3, 5, $10, $20 a month to make the “your cloud is full!” alert to go away.
Somewhere in the middle is the way, and in countries like the US, that something in the middle should probably not be a US cloud provider anymore.
To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.
Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.
A reminder that if your data is not backed up in a different physical location, then it is not safe.
Reminder that you should choose where to back up to, not Microsoft.

Depends on the data, some data would be fine being deleted but not fine being leaked, some the other way around.
And also if you don’t try to restore your backups from time to time, you may actually not have any backups.
