It's not just the cloud itself, but your connection into it. I'm more concerned that my connection to the internet is lost so many times a day (traveling underground etc.) and that this is enough to prevent many devices in my vicinity from acting in a coherent way. They should be able to synchronize among themselves without the central intermediary. Obviously this doesn't happen because it's hard, but also companies have a vested interest in piping all sorts of data through them for analytics purposes. This is not in the interest of the users at all.
