Is this an issue with all cloud providers? Or just large ones like Google, Amazon, Microsoft?

I'm currently thinking of migrating from Google for productivity to Office 365. Wondering if I'm just re-branding the risk of my counterparty.

With AWS/Azure, you typically wouldnt have extensive personal data with them, so you dont have the risk of work and personal accounts colliding. I dont know anyone with personal emails/accounts/photos on the Microsoft ecosystem. With Amazon, whats the worst that can happen? You lose your connected Amazon purchasing account, doesnt seem terrible.

With Google you often have email/documents/photos with them. If you have an Android phone, you have almost everything with them.
