While I sympathize with your suggestions, I don't really see the issue with this particular service. This is more about enhancing developers by letting them stop having to set up the same development workflow on different computers. As long as you have access to your data, you could mirror it locally. Should they remove that possibility then you're losing control, if enough people would protest if and when that happens then it would be reversed. Which brings me to my main point. The erosion of control is mostly a voluntary one, cloud offerings make life simpler and more convenient and that's very hard to beat. Especially the ones aimed at consumers. I am confident that people are losing less personal data thanks to the big tech companies, even at the expense of losing control. Therefore it's a net positive for individual consumers, perhaps it's not if you look at the societal level but what would be the main arguments at that level? EDIT Hahaha, there is a certain irony about this getting downvoted in a discussion about erosion of control.
