A Bus Factor of 1 has always been construed as high risk; that's why the term exists after all. Companies sometimes mitigate it, sometimes not, but in general they are vaguely aware it's a risk.

A Bus Factor of 0, especially as an implicit goal, seems doubly worrisome! Now it's a goal rather than a warning sign.
