> … digital backup discipline for consumers …

You have a lot more faith in typical consumers than I do. I wouldn’t call any of those I knew in the 90s/00s “disciplined” with data backups, let alone the wherewithal to have considered software backups.

Discipline not in a strict 3-2-1 sense, but more pragmatic like “if I lose this, it’ll be too much trouble”. Everyone had a box of floppies or spindle of CDs for their backups. Backup was part of life because the cost of data loss was immense.
