Dropbox gets all up in your kernel with Project Infinite. Cue uproar

Meh, my home PC is only used for games and netflix so they can take all the telemetry they want, my onedrive consists of a bunch of D&D sheets, and my XBox is also just used for gaming.

If any of that gets compromised then oh no, I'll have to reinstall a bunch of unimportant things.

The laptop that I use for work and banking and anything slightly sensitive is set up to distrust everything on the home LAN just as much as it distrusts the internet as there is no need for it to talk to anything else on the LAN.

You don't have to deny yourself nice things in the interest of security, you just need to be smart about how you implement them, same as anything.
