I'm assuming you are aware of how many people there are in the world, and how many use the internet etc.
only a very small proportion of those are out to get anyone, or invade their security.

With this in mind, hardware failure is a far more likely reason why you will lose that stuff, which is independent of OS.

In my view that means your argument there is irrelevant. and if I were you I'd backup to another hard drive.

Your arguing skills aren't too bad though, I'll give you a small amount of credit. Worth developing, but on a better subject.
