No, it just underscores the importance of properly architecting your apps so that they don't directly depend on Parse or others. Keeping that stuff to the periphery of your app will make it much easier to replace when the service either shuts down or you outgrow it.

Eh, regardless of how well your application is architected, it's going to be a pain in the ass to migrate if you have a lot of data/users/versions of your app out in the wild.
If you continue to rely on BaaS providers you run the risk of playing perpetual musical chairs as each one shuts down over time. That's not an acceptable level of risk for me, but, to each his own I guess.
