I wouldn't make the "the cloud is just someone else's server" argument here, or to a tech crowd in general. But outside the tech sphere, it's not as well understood as you may expect. I've had a decision maker on a tech project respond "are you sure?" when it was put to them.
I don't feel it's condescending to make sure people know what they are signing up for. I've had the "you can't store credit card numbers" discussion with people, who have said "but we're not storing it on a computer, we're storing it in the cloud" and genuinely didn't see the problem.
