Does that really make any sense considering a 2TB costs around a $100?

  If it's lifetime like they say, sure. Hard drives have high failure rate after few years. Add bandwidth, management and other hardware fee to that. It makes sense.

I'm a bit wary of services with recurrent costs that offer a lifetime pass. But I guess even if they fold in 5 years you're getting your money's worth anyway. Pcloud also makes you pay separately (and quite a lot) for having encryption turned on.

  Have been considering encrypting locally (which pCloud already does, but at the cost) using File Guard extension on Chrome, and Cryptomator on Android. All encryption passwords to be stored in BitWarden.

    If I went that route I'd go for Google One or Microsoft Onedrive. Much cheaper and nice apps. For me the point of using something else is to trust it enough to not add my own encryption, which is a pain especially on mobile.

After having n photo startups (paid and free) disappear into the mist, along with my photos and videos, I decided self-hosting was the only thing I could trust. I couldn't find any software that would reliably scale to my library and fix my mess of duplicates and bitrot files, so I made it. I'm providing access to the beta for free in exchange for feedback, if you'd like to try it. https://photostructure.com/about/v-0-8/ https://photostructure.com/about/v-0-8/ is dropping this week.
