My point is simply that the larger commercial cloud vendors aren't magically immune to bulk data loss, particularly in the face of internal threats.

Consider the current tensions between Iran and the US. If Iran decides to retaliate with cyberattacks, major cloud vendors could suddenly have multiple regions go up in smoke concurrently.

They'll just shrug their shoulders and say that it's the customers' responsibility to protect their own data, and that they're just offering platforms for rent.
