While it's probably true that no one specifically seeks to remove resiliency for its own sake, basically the entirety of our corporate world has, over the past several decades, been relentlessly redesigning everything in ways that remove resiliency. Because resiliency is almost inherently antithetical to efficiency. At the most fundamental level, if you want to make sure you have a backup of your data, that means you need at least 2x the amount of storage. And, of course, if you want to make sure you can operate even if a critical employee gets sick/is hit by a bus/goes on vacation, you need to hire extra employees.

And that's anathema to companies nowadays.
