One major outage per year doesn't necessarily mean just a few hours of downtime, it could mean having to redeploy your entire service somewhere else, which could take several days or more if you haven't prepared for it. How many of those services can live with that?

Look at how many companies choose not to pay ransom when hit with a ransomware attack, or prefer to negotiate for days instead of buckling straight away, even if it means operations are crippled for weeks. They don't typically go bankrupt afterwards, everyone coped, life moves on.
