It's very hard to verify that the data is indeed encrypted, whereas with local storage you can just monitor your network usage and see that no requests are going out. Hell, you could airgap your machine and have no problems with locals

I think people just generally have a lot less sympathy for literal Nazis, who the Germans voted into power, and any aggressors in a military campaign. America didn't just nuke Japan out of nowhere, the Japanese opened the door to that
