You still have to worry about that though. What if process X crashes? What
if the data centre fails. What if the data centre has an outage and loses
all your data (

)

It just encourages people to be complacent because it becomes someone elses
problem and because since they're paying for it to be managed for them
they're assuming nothing can go wrong.
