> if the company is respecting privacy It's very rare to see companies doing it, and moreover it is hard to trust them to even maintain a unique stance as years pass by.
Indeed, no one can predict the future but there are companies with bigger and stronger reputation than other. I pay for instance for iCloud because it’s e2e in my country and pricing is fair, it’s been like that for years and so I don’t have to set up baikal server for calendar, something for file archieving, something else for photo and so on.
I’d be surprised apple did willingly something damaging to user privacy, for the simple reason that they paid so much ads on privacy, they would instantly loose a lot of credibility.
And even stuff you self host, yes you can let it be, not update it for a year but I wouldn’t do that because of security issue. Somethings like navidrome (music player), it’s accessible from the web, no one want to launch a vpn each time you listen to music and so it got to be updated or you may get hacked. And no one can say that the navidrome maintainer will still be there in the coming years, could stop the project, be sick, die… it’s not a guarantee that others take back on the project and provide security update.
