In theory, it sounds smart, but in practice it can cause cascade failure — if everyone switches at once, it could take the next platform down too. Outages like this are rare, and while a manual backup plan for critical systems makes sense, automating failovers across clouds adds more risk and cost. Sometimes simpler really is safer.
