It doesn't have to be "vast quantities of cash", it only has to balance out the cost of the additional work. And reputational cost is notoriously difficult to turn into a cash value. I really have an issue with how the author presents this as a "Almost nobody needs this stuff", where the truth is that it is a lot more nuanced. I typically advise my clients what uptime will cost them extra, per "9" (as in the 5-nines), and let them make their own decisions.
