What is insurance if not “overpay[ing] ‘just in case’”? What does paying a middleman benefit you in this situation?

What I am saying is that part of entering a contract with a service provider is insurance, e.g, SLA.

The middleman (in the case, the business providing hosting services) also has a vested interest in pricing risk properly and in reducing the costs of accidents.
