We have already seen the effects of over-reliance on a few CDNs and cloud providers: One bad push, one ill intentioned employee and potentially entire portions of the web might become unaccessible. That by itself should have been the end of this business model long ago
So you're recognizing that a bad command execution can exist in CDN or cloud provider, but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?
I looks like you're ignoring the practical realities that companies rarely ever:
All of these things lead to system impacts and downtime that can only come from running your own datacenters.
The cloud isn't perfect, but for lots and lots of companies its a much better and cheaper option than "rolling your own".
Given the context of the article, the alternative suggestion isn't "set up your own server" but "use software that doesn't require a server", which sidesteps most of that list.
