I think that's just the hackers's infatuation with decentralization speaking here.
Using decentralization to prepare for a disaster that happens once every 100 years costs so much, you'll be uncompetitive 99% of the time, which means you'll likely be out of business by the time disaster strikes.
Furthermore, when it does strike, you'll probably have prepared in the wrong way because you didn't foresee everything, like the disaster affecting every decentralized place at once, as it would in a global pandemic.
