Both Apple and Android (stock) are candidates for anti-monopoly regulations regarding the limited, vendor locked backup API.

Enforcing choice of the backup solution would solve the problem of rogue countries like the UK meddling with privacy and security.

Like the browser choice, backup provider choice can end up being enforced, likely by the EU as they have a good history of breaking up vendor lock-ins.

Possibly an information/lobby campaign can be started and endorsed by some major online storage providers?

I agree, though with Android an argument can be had that Samsung and other manufacturers can offer alternatives if they want to (they have their own stores and their own platform keys).

I don't think there's a large lobby for the backup app industry but a lawsuit against Apple/Google/Samsung should be easily won here.
