What are the main reasons products would do this?
Is it user-privacy focused? Product cost-savings focused? Something else?
The privacy discussion would be interesting. On one hand, users "own" their data in the sense that they can delete it themselves at any time, but you also allow a product (hopefully limited) access to your own storage provider.
