My point is that the fire in our Chicago datacenter is unfortunate but everything is trivially replicated to Seattle and London. A fire at a physical library usually means total loss of original works, many of which may not exist everywhere. Especially if we're considering "seed store" scenarios. Paper also takes a lot of space, so the amount of data you can store in a facility for x amount of cost will be much less, now you have to employ "curators" to decide whats important instead of just copying everything on the much cheaper digital medium.
