That's a reasonable point but the solution - as with all things backup - is diversification. Otherwise if everyone followed your logic then no new backup software or storage service could ever become established no matter how good it actually was. Given that all of the options being discussed here look technically better and in some cases more than an order of magnitude cheaper than other popular backup services and software discussed on HN in the past you could afford to run full redundant backups with multiple combinations of software and backing storage and still have more options for a much lower price than a few years ago.
