there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.
If everything that you run is local as in the same physical location and there is no requirement for external or internet access then sure. Not everyone has that luxury. Otherwise, There are the same number of points of failure in a non-cloud configuration. You just feel more comfortable with those because you have direct hands on control.
Are you implying that the various cloud vendors lie about the way they configure their environments or admins don’t have emotional biases or something else entirely?
