Containers running some work load dying is a lot different from a HDD going kaput on your production DB server. Or someone compromising your file system and encrypting all of your user uploads.
I don't think anyone is claiming it's a particularly hard problem. It's the opposite. We're talking about 1 hour a month. Even that little effort still ~$200 a month and a $200 a month managed DB instance is pretty beefy.

In a competent setup it's automated, so you're not spending an hour a month per server. Not even for the production DB server, because you have replicas and setups to automate the switch, and setups to bring back snapshots from backups. Been there, done that, many times, and I know exactly what it costs people, because I billed by the hour for it, and your cost assumptions are just way off.
