SPOF is something that you have to make trade-offs for and decide what you can cope with.. How much work to maintain a parallel infrastructure _just in case_ GitHub goes down for more than an hour once or twice a month? How many people actually are in the position to pivot their entire company processes around this failure case?

It can't be "remove all SPOF or you aren't doing your job". How many offices are resilient to continue working if the building power goes out?
