Yeah, I agree with your characterization of what I'm suggesting.
Right now, we are like a school of fish who are already living inside the nets of a handful of hyperscalers who don't have much reason to treat us well.
We might as well take our chances in the open ocean.
With the exception of DDoS attacks we can protect ourselves through continuous improvement of our software and protocols. The sooner we take responsibility for doing that the better off we will be.
And even the DDoS attacks we can mitigate with replication and secret backend links via second ISP/mobile.
