A corollary: since "the world is run by people no smarter than you" then it's a good idea to be:
- diversified :: so errors and horrors by a country/cohort of people can be a lesson for others without hitting anybody at once;
- not centralized :: as above, so a "chief" who happen to be an i*iot would cause issues to a small cohort of people, but not to all at once.
Now try imaging: all Roomba and Amazon Ring IN THE WORLD goes TFU due to a centralized system mishap https://eminetra.com.au/people-cant-vacuum-or-use-their-doorbell-because-amazons-cloud-servers-are-down/ https://eminetra.com.au/people-cant-vacuum-or-use-their-door... or the famous https://youtu.be/JqoGJPMD3Ws https://youtu.be/JqoGJPMD3Ws or also https://arstechnica.com/?p=1848769 https://arstechnica.com/?p=1848769 and countless others.
ALL such "issues" are SPOF by their own "modern" design. Perhaps it's a good idea re-evaluating such way of doing anything from just-in-time productions to home food stock in the freezer to car's spare wheel instead of crappy ideas to spare a kg.
