As long as they don't need to decrypt your data, then that is fine as they are working strictly as a dumb storage at that point. Eg. I have keep encrypted backups in the cloud.

For other things it's about being in control, if just for tinkering. I self host mostly to not being reliant on 3rd parties for everything and to just know how it works. I don't do it for privacy. IMO if you want something private, you don't put it on the internet.
