This is part of the risk of startups/business.
This is like the opposite of survivorship bias...
Think about all the successful companies out there that DO depend on third parties:
- Buffer (Twitter has a bad day? Cut their API access off!)
- Candy Crush (Apple hates them? Remove their apps!)
- RetailMeNot (Google thinks they're spam! Delist them!)
- DuckDuckGo (Bing hates them? Cut off their API access)
- Heroku (Amazon has a bad day? Cut off their AWS Access)
- MailPlane (Google doesn't want Gmail apps?! Cut them off!)
