Without having a well-defined risk profile that they’re designing to satisfy, everyone’s just kind of shooting from the hip with their opinions on what’s too much or too little.

It is like discussing zombie apocalypse. People who are invested in bunkers will hardly understand those who are just choosing death over living in those bunkers for a month longer.

Exactly this!

One of my projects is entirely hosted on S3. I don't care enough if it becomes unavailable for a few hours to justify paying to distribute it to GCP et al.

And actually for most companies, the cost of multi-cloud is greater than the benefits. Particularly when those larger entities can just bitch to their AWS account manager to get a few grand refunded as credits.
