So your contention is that the same risk exists no matter the storage location?
Bad things can happen anywhere. I submit that certain locations are more prone to certain situations. Knowing your information is being stored in a certain location at a minimum gives you the opportunity to deny additional information from yourself (stop using the service).
Since this discussion has regressed to the point where you're essentially arguing that additional information has no utility, and I fundamentally disagree with that point, I'm not sure the point of continuing. We're just repeating our points with different examples.
