Sure, but at that point you go from bog standard to "enterprise grade redundancy for every single point of failure" which I can assure you is more heavily engineered than many enterprises (source: see current outage). Its just not worth the manpower and dollars for a vast majority of businesses.

Pulling unvetted stuff from docker hub, npm, etc. is not a question of redundancy.

OK, you pull it to your own repo. Now where do you store it? Do you also have fallback stores for that? What about the things which arent vendorable, ie external services?
