Centralization decreases frequency of failure but increases its cost. A really large scale nasty incident with a major cloud provider like Amazon could be a national state of emergency.

Rather, it sounds like once-in-a-thousand-year event for a single device, but divided by ten thousand devices means it happens ten times every year. There's whole branches of statistics for failure rates.
