I think that's a little unfair.  An important observation in here is
that, in the concentrating-services Internet economy, people have
dependencies on others that they don't even know about.  In the
physical world, people have often specified redundant transit only to
find themselves hosed when all their redundancy traverses a common
peering point somewhere upstream.  This result is a similar one, only
in a much more ubiquitous (and, sometimes, fragile) way.

Best regards,

A
