If someone else makes the key to your house, they can make themselves a copy of the key to your house without you noticing.
Do you make your own house keys?
I buy them from the company which makes the lock. If I need an extra key, I make it myself with the machine at my makerspace. People who give their keys away to keymakers and give them their addresses obviously have bad opsec.
I have in the past yes.
No... It's generated on your end, and even if it wasn't you can replace the private key with your own.
