I'd argue that the ratio needs to be much higher than 1/50 to compensate for the increase in risk. It's a lot easier to lose a handful of customers than hundreds. And this increase doesn't look good at all for the customers that stay.

Capitalists are only interested in quarterly profits, not this "long term sustainability" BS. Just look at oil companies and global warming. They'd rather literally destroy the planet with the status quo than innovate a long term solution.
