Earlier cars were terrible death traps and we were told crashes at highway speeds were unsurvivable.
People died in mangled messes but the sky didn't fall then either.
The status quo is rarely a sufficient argument because the human race is pretty much terrible at everything improving things only slowly, incrementally accruing useful strategies and procedures.
We built bridges well via centuries of practice, software is less mature.
To be honest, I have a long list of friends, especially in creative professions where people struggle with setting up reliable backups. There is a reason Dropbox and other cloud drives were so successful. Any improvement on the data integrity front is very welcome.
