In some cases a copy might not be viable, especially with price hikes. If AWS increased storage and outgoing data costs greatly then exporting all your data will most likely cause a much larger bill.
Splitting your data across multiple vendors protects against all kinds of failures from all sides (including the vendor simply closing your account for no reason)

if you want to reduce your attack surface, copying your data across multiple providers is counter-productive. instead of having to hack your specific cloud provider, the attacker only needs to hack one of many cloud providers.
