> Keep your domains at one company. Your DNS with another. Hosting, a third.

This just means that there are three companies that can shut you down.

Domains and hosting are usually seen very differently. Your domain is a lot closer to property, while the hosting is commonly shut down anytime it is seen as inconvenient by the provider.

If you combine them on the same provider you risk loosing access to the former because you lost the latter, the providers that host all the services also tend to have blurred lines between disabling one service and disabling your whole account.

But not completely, at the same time
Yes, completely. If you lack any of these things you are shut down completely
It's typically a lot easier to recover from the loss of one of those than all of them at once.
This saga clearly is a counterpoint.
