Same here. When my database server died two weeks ago it was shit for me. Until I fixed it, it meant no email, website hosting (not much static content) or telegram bots for me, but at least I can fix it myself. No risk of getting banned or being included in dragnet surveillance when the NSA decides to ask Google for something (I'm not American so protection laws don't apply; I might be a terrorist). Of course that's putting it all too strongly, but there's just no chance of that happening, plus I can help myself. It's like moving out of your parent's place: you have to do more shit, but at least you get to do it your way.
