In my opinion, despite the technical merits of an algorithm, encryption is only as trustworthy as the computer who generates and holds a private key.

I would personally not knowingly use a cloud provider to commit a crime. That is a fairly naive take to assume because your browser is https that data at rest and in process isn’t somehow observable.
