I cannot blame them if that is their first time to keep their private keys or seeds into that type of cloud storage. I was an idiot also before.
But after realizing and reading the older folks that have been into this industry, it made me realize that I've been doing it wrongly.
These people will realize the mistake that they have been doing for how long and then they'll turn themselves in and admit the fault.
While doing that so, they'll do the same thing now as what we do and will keep their seeds into a better place offline.
Dude, I did this too when I was newbie, but then I realized that it isn't safe.

I know some people that I taught how to use bitcoin wallets, and the first thing they did was take a screenshot/picture of the seedphrase they wrote down and send it to Google Photos. I warn them that this is not a good practice and ask them how they can sleep without having to worry about it, but it's useless, some people only take initiative when shit happens.
Yeah, that's a common thing when we were young onto this market and we thought that doing it was fine.
Not until we've come to realize that it's very unsafe and not recommended to be done.
Thanks to the early adopters and those that have told us that it is a bad thing and a terrible idea to do.
I don't do this anymore or if I do, it's for some thrown away wallets that will never get any deposit from my pocket.
