A car can be used to drive from point A to point B. But sure some people have used it to ram through crowds of people to hurt or kill them. So hey, cars are murder devices. Amirite?

99.999% (or whatever) of the time cars are used to go from A to B and there's no real thought about it. How many people do you really think make backups for purely personal storage redundancies? This feels more like grape juice and yeast kits (or whatever) from the prohibition era.

I'm sorry but no. Anyone who's into collecting retro gaming console knows the importance of being able to back up your game cartridges. The technology isn't infaillible. Especially over time.
