I appreciate this perspective and that was also my immediate reaction. Then I realized, as long as I can easily export my data and move elsewhere, I shouldn’t be too concerned.

I dunno, Google Takeout exists, and I still have plenty of concerns about their offerings.

Oddly, Google Keep Notes isn't included in Takeout...

Google nearly went through trouble to make sure that takeout is a pain in the ass to import anywhere else.

As a matter of fact anytime I use any company's product and try to export it from there and import it somewhere else it goes horribly wrong.

I don't want my text documents in HTML.

This is very true, and SN does do that. That said I have hundreds of notes in SN... Its essentially my life at this point so its heavily integrated and would be both a shame and a pain to migrate! Here's hoping its positive for all involved though and this is a needless concern!
