Y'all here talking so smart ignore another thing - the more complex your solutions are, the deeper you are into being hostage to everyone capable of making the effort to own you.

Don't wanna be hostage - don't use corporate and cloud services for things you need more than a bus ticket.

You are being gaslighted to think today's problems can be solved by more complexity. In fact the future is in generalizing and simplifying what exists. I'm optimistic over a few projects, some of which already work, and some of which are in alpha.
