What if it’s a little earthquake? It will make you think twice about building your home on a bad foundation.
I think the issue here, other than earthquakes being potentially very deadly, which makes this comparison a little absurd, is that they are in a sense unavoidable.
On the other hand you can avoid using SaaS.
For example, there’s enough market demand for Github to provide on-premises secure hosting. Clearly then, if SaaS as a whole is seen as fundamentally unreliable it will create more market demand for similar on-premises, or open source, or otherwise “buy not rent” model services, which I see as the motivation for OP’s comment.

I don't think being happy at the misfortune of others is a particularly constrictive attitude nor do I think Twitter buying and then apparently shutting down some service with 20 minutes notice is good for the web, teaches anyone anything or is in any way a desirable outcome. I don't understand how any reasonable person would.
