Yeah theres also another insurance policy which is you say “aw shucks man happy Thursday are we still down for golf this weekend, yeah we cant get that to you because Microsoft is down”.
The response was basically, "we have a uptime garuntee and will pay out for downtime". But when it's clear _all_ of their clients have the same SaaS contract garuntee and a serious enough disruption would see _every_ client needing payment back, well, it's not much of a warranty is it.
Now I'm sure the SaaS has the redundancy in their system, but AI is the next deep integration that's going to hallow out a bunch of companies because some third party is just going to have a catastrophic loss somewhere down the line.
