And here’s the reason why layman should not: they’re much more likely to make that one wrong move and suffer irrecoverable data loss than some faceless corporation selling their data.

At the end of the day, those of us who are technical enough will take the risk and learn, but for vast majority of the people, it is and will continue to remain as a non starter for the foreseeable future.

Not to mention, few people have the time, skill, money, and energy to do it. They're happy to outsource in exchange for money and/or data.

and yet americans still drive cars.

I don't disagree, but you just have to be aware that you can fuck shit up. And if you do, that's not my problem, or anybody elses at the end of the day.

There are actually easy solutions out there. For example CasaOS, it's a oneliner and you get a docker orchestration with an app-store and built-in file and smb management. I bet even non technicals could use this.
