How many times are you going to shift the goalposts? This is getting tiresome, so I’ll make it my last reply.
I don’t have Netflix but neither is that relevant to the point, you’re obviously and embarrassingly grasping at straws.
No one is arguing against continuous cloud backups, they’re arguing about sending data without consent. Which, by the way, is something Apple used to understand not to do.

Strictly Signal via self-hosted VPN for messages. My email web client provided by my email server (Zimbra) which are hosted on colocated servers. 3cx for calls via self-hosted PBX.
