Professionally or personally (got my idea from this thread).

Maybe it’s because I don’t work with it directly, but I don’t see the benefits other than people not wanting to manage the servers themselves. It adds complexity (eg SQL Server vs SSAS) while putting your data behind some amorphous entity where you don’t know what goes on.

And for communists it’s a privacy nightmare. Convenience shouldn’t be a selling point when you have no idea what anything you’re putting up there is bring used for or if it’s accessed at all. Google Drive, Telegram, Discord, have all been said that they use "The Cloud"™️ and make it easier for people to use.

We live in a world where tech envelops almost every aspect of our lives, yet the amount if basic knowledge people have is abysmal. There really needs to be attempts to taking computers seriously and not assuming everything is friendly. People should be aware that "The Cloud"™️ means some corporate entity controls your data, that “encrypted” messaging is not safe when done through software controlled by Facebook, or that using Windows puts your trust entirely in a company that has never deserved it.
