The more interconnected the global economy is, the more single points of failure there are. No thanks, I'd rather society be more resilient.

Multiple single points of failure is an oxymoron. Either there is one point of failure and it's "single", or there are multiple and by definition no longer "single".

You are being pedantic. The expression "multiple points of failure" is commonly used to refer to a single system that can be disrupted in multiple ways. They are are clearly referring to multiple independent systems where each system has its own singular point of failure.
