Modern cloud services such as S3 or let's say MongoDB seem to have a lot more security footguns than old-school bare-metal. An S3 bucket misconfiguration exposes your data to everyone even if there was never a reason for that data to ever be exposed to the outside world. On a bare-metal, chuck it in a directory outside your web root and someone will have to actually breach the server before they can steal the data.
