Whilst I'm pedalling cloud conspiracy theories , there's a big, perhaps not completely unfounded fear that the US is trying to get access to pretty much all internet traffic in one way or another. Given the massive increase in cyber warfare I'd also add that we want to worry about breaches in the cloud by thieves or enemies on cloud infrastructures.
If you penetrate one cloud host, you've perhaps got 10 -15 businesses in 1 attack - it makes attacking the cloud platforms a lot more viable than a privately run internal infrastructure.
Finally, before I become scared of my own shadow - you also have to trust the staff that work these cheap cloud platforms (not Azure etc, but the smaller offerings)
Not 100% related, but a show of how we need to take much better care of our data.
