How important is full self-custody for you in daily crypto use?

Been thinking about what self-custody actually is IRL, not just not your keys vibes. I say I care about keys, but then you zoom out and it’s like… a bunch of wallets/services still sneak in trust assumptions: accounts, email logins, tracking, half-custody weirdness, black-box backend stuff. Not always evil, but it definitely shifts the risk over time.Convenience slowly turns into dependency, and you don’t really notice until something breaks or changes - policy updates, outages, random new restrictions, etc.Using gem wallet made that contrast way more obvious for me bc no accounts, no email, no data collection, fully self-custody, and routing through decentralized providers instead of some proprietary middle layer. Day to day it doesn’t feel that different, it just feels like fewer assumptions happening in the background. I’m not trying to be a max-purity crypto monk or anything. Just trying to avoid long-term surprises and cut down on stuff I’m implicitly trusting. I’ll take a bit more friction if it means fewer moving parts that can flip on me later.How do you all handle this tradeoff? Is full self-custody a must-have or just a nice-to-have? Where do you draw the line between convenience and control, and have you ever changed your setup after realizing you were trusting way more than you thought?
