it's safer to put your coins in a wallet that you control with its own private key, etc.

You say that mate but it's not like it hasn't happened before.
Anyway, OP I am sure it will be fine, just subscribe to updates on the status page and you or your friend will get notified when it comes back online.

Not likely. Look at Mt. Gox.
So you think blockchain dot com is like paypal that can ban your account or the website don't exist anymore and you will lose your money?

I used to think Blockchain.com is like an exchange.
But recently i discovered they actually give you a seed phrase and you can get the private key for your coins.
So now im not sure what it is
But i do have some Stellar in there earning interest, and thats like a separate interest account. My private key doesnt show the Stellar that i have in my Interest account. So i guess if the website disappeared overnight, id lose the Stellar i have in my Interest account.

Now a days these exchanges are much more protected from hacks/fraud. HOWEVER there is no guarantees. If you leave your money on an exchange it’s always a risk. Maybe the exchange gets hacked, maybe it’s an exit scam, or maybe they hold your money hostage for months while trying to confirm identify. ( all these things have happened before)
The old saying “Not your keys, not your coins” If you have any amount of crypto you can’t afford to lose, then use a hardware wallet or at the very least a wallet like exodus.
