Author here. That's right, I'd like to think I do have it pretty well covered, if the free provider just disappears. They're static sites, they can be hosted anywhere. I have almost no lock-in (except for a few config files, and function hooks, that could be ported fairly easily). If one provider pulls the rug out from under me, I can move to another one. In the worst case scenario, if all the providers stop offering free static hosting, I could just move all my www hosting back to a VPS (although I'd probably move it to S3 + CloudFront + Lambda, which isn't free, but is so cheap for low-volume that it might as well be free). Yes, I agree, personal private stuff is harder. Before embarking on this static-site endeavour, I migrated my photos from Flickr to S3 / CloudFront, and that was a big project in itself (and Flickr is one of the nicer SaaS'es, that lets you export your data quite easily). For email / contacts / calendar, I'm pretty locked in (with one of the big providers), I wouldn't mind moving to a better setup where I own and I control the data, but honestly, it's in my too hard basket.
