Honestly I think self-hosted OSS for those models may be the only way to get genuinely useful results in the long term for several different subjects, since I'd imagine investors and advertisers would be unwilling to throw capital at an unrestricted platform.

The pain-rito
Not necessarily, but it's an easy way to describe our view of others in our society in general. Not much faith in our fellow humans.
I certainly don't like the situation, but the amount of people who are chomping at the bit to attack others are far greater than those who don't want to. I would likely have to hand over everything if I had a gun pointed at me, but usually the best way to avoid that risk is to avoid being there. Staying away from crowds, either trying to bluff/strike/capitulate with those who try to attack you, or just not trusting anyone.
This is why bystander effect is a real issue when it comes to situations in the US where people are injured or need help - the risk of being robbed, defrauded, or sued means it's a far easier choice to keep moving and not think about those around you.

You understand, mechanical hands, are the ruler of everything
In the US, we have a phrase for the mindset you're describing:
"Fuck you, I got mine."
