Many are new students who don't think about the business landscape of the service they choose to build something on.

Students who are learning to build things on these platforms shouldn't lose their early work.

Sure, but move it elsewhere later. And who doesn't keep a copy of the code they deploy?

... and have not yet learned about version control or backups the hard way.

It’s a good thing those students have access to thousands of dollars of free credit for AWS/Digital Ocean/Azure, etc.

Not to mention if whatever they are working does take off, those companies would throw extra credits to these students.

I think they’ll be fine.

Well, then it's excellent they are learning this now and not later. The best time to learn about making backups is when you start programming, the second best time is today.

Then they need to learn!
