There's nothing I love more than a chicken or egg argument. Nobody is doing B because there isn't a company that has a scalable B option yet.
But hey, your argument is totally valid, which is why everyone is still programming in Cobalt!

Sarcasm aside, option A works and option B does not, as you admit. What's your counter-argument? If it is that option B will one day be better than option A, you will need to provide evidence because that's a claim that is not addressed in the posted filecoin.pdf.

Argument to the Future. You can't provide evidence of a future event and asking for it is a joke. Maybe Sia/File/Storj are the future maybe it's something else, but asking for "evidence" of a future event is a joke.

Option C: cross-region replication, regular backups and multiple service provider failover plan in a secure, decentralized storage network.
Don't have to be choosing either "Businesses To Big To Fail(tm)" or "Average Joe" when you can have "Many businesses"

Totally agree with this. This might be a better option as part of risk management to de-risk the scenario of complete wipeout across providers.
What do you think they will answer?
Option A: cross-region replication, regular backups, and secondary service provider failover plan
Option B: decentralize everything on people's laptops
