Yes, options A, B, and C are technologies that shouldn't be used where user privacy is highly valued. They violate the fundamental concept of end-to-end encryption.
In practice, a rented VPS or dedicated server that terminates its own TLS connections can be considered very private. It's not impossible for the hosting company to acquire the private key but it would require real effort, business risk, and potential liability.
Even if you're not worried about rogue employees, you have to worry about mistakes like the infamous "Cloudbleed" bug that leaked private user traffic.

You may be right in that these websites value your privacy less than other things but it certainly doesn't seem like a viable solution for most users. What's the day to day usage look like when you take your privacy this seriously? I'm not well versed with what tools you would use currently to achieve privacy.
