It is a big deal, because ad-hoc development environments don’t break simultaneously. They can also be fixed by the developer using them. Even if, say, GitHub goes down, I can still email / DM a git am patch to a colleague for a code review (and they can send me a patch with comments). Choosing a shared environment is basically choosing to randomly give your development team a snow day. Maybe you’re okay with that tradeoff, but when it rains it pours… prod likely will go down when you can’t use the cloud dev machines.
