The example I used isn't that extreme.  I know many people that are 
using disk encryption in the cloud and many people that aren't doing so 
on premise.

Didn't you cherry pick an extreme case too?

I think you're talking about OVH.

What difference would it have made for clients if the fire had been in 
their own on-premise data center with the same state of backups?  Would 
the location of the fire have really made that much difference to their 
operation?

I maintain that things (equipment gets stolen, fire, floods, etc) happen 
and that what happens is somewhat independent of the location (3rd 
party, 1st party, etc).
