To extend the driving metaphor somewhat, you definitely don't need to be a mechanic if you live in an area with a lot of mechanics.
You need to know how your car works, however, if you're 50 miles from the nearest garage.
If your livelihood and business depend entirely on a single social media site, that's a problem long term. I'm not talking about creators where their content is a side hustle; if your content creation is your full time income and you have a single point of failure, that should feel scary.
Reminds me of the stories of people that lose access to their Google account. They can't access any account they've created using that email, they had their passwords saved with it, and essentially couldn't function without access. For a more business focused angle, it's reminiscent of the Silicon Valley Bank failure. If you can't operate your business at all if one bank were to fail (or have an outage), that's kind of a problem.
