Yes, you just pay for some server space on a cloud service... oh wait...
The point is all this trivial to do stuff just adds up, and sometimes it does make sense to use a 3rd party.
Your pain threshold may just be larger than mine.
Which is far from the only solution. I have automated off-site backups without involving the cloud.

Of course. I'm not arguing otherwise.

Perhaps, but I suffer very nearly zero pain on this. I probably spend a couple hours a month maintaining my systems on overage.
I consider dumb storage for encrypted data to still be sufficiently under my control.
