I still find it hard to believe that so many people and companies are prepared to use Microsoft's online/cloud services.

Not ony is this a single point of failure but it's one they've no control over whatsoever. Same goes for Google/Youtube etc. It's as risky as flying a passenger jet with only one engine.

What are they thinking, why are they prepared to risk everything?

It boggles my mind.

But isn't that how civilization literally works?

people live paycheck to paycheck, they have limited ability to create food, they rarely have enough safety equipment nearby to survive a heart attack or a fire, and afaict this is all accelerating.
