Even if its hard, your business should have a strategy for coming back up when a critical vendor cancels your account.
Not being able to survive a cloud vendor cancelling you is the 21st century equivalent of not having any backups.
You still need to have backups, even in the 21st century.
Being brought down by a single vendor is poor engineering.
By convenience, backups are often stored on the cloud provider. Yes, this violates the rule of 3, but cloud providers often don't make it easy to do otherwise.
