The other aspect of risk management is an acceptance that something going wrong isn't necessarily a reason to change what you are doing. If the plan was tacitly to run something at a 99% uptime, then incidents causing 1% downtime can be ignored.
We are going to get hit by some terrible outage eventually (I hope someone is tracking things like what happens if a big war breaks out and the GPS constellations all go down together). But having 10x providers won't help against the big IT-related threats which are things like grid outages and suchlike having cascading effects into food supplies.
