Modern development practices — idioms, frameworks, libraries, traditions — make it difficult to test your backups. The priority on responsiveness means that you have to work extra hard when architecting the system to ensure that you can restore from backups without losing recent changes — which makes it impractical to confirm that your backups actually work. Offering Continuous Restoration as a feature should theoretically be a way of differentiating a development tool in the software marketplace. But short-termers hold power in so many organizations that it's not clear to me whether it would actually win. Even if ransomware kills the company, executives still keep their money.
