But note that "an outage of this magnitude kills the business" is a reasonable plan, if an outage of that magnitude is expected to be a rare enough event. You could, after all, plan for "aliens obliterate the continent I'm currently on", but it's such an unlikely event that there's no point planning for it.

Similarly, a small business may reasonably plan on the basis that loss of a cloud service for more than (say) 5 days kills the business, and that they'll ensure that they're close enough to up-to-date to cope with a 5 day outage.
