They aren't naive though. Migration testing has costs. A business needs to weigh this against many other costs they have.

Of course. But you can't just say you can't afford it. Fire doesn't care that you couldn't afford a smoke detector.

If you can't afford a recovery plan then what you can't actually afford is the service that needs the recovery plan that you can't afford to develop and test.

All costs, including of switching away if it fails, have to be considered as the sticker price.
