Yep, somehow cloud customers have decided that by being in the cloud everything is redundant and durable and has several other magical properties.
At one of my positions we had stupidly put too many eggs in the basket of a single physical machine. Its disk controller failed in a way that it trashed the data volumes. I was unable to convince anyone that "move to Amazon" was not a one-step solution to "how do we make sure this never happens again".

To be fair the point of the cloud is that they deal with redundancy, HA, distributing to multiple datacenters, etc. through their services - but you need to use and understand implications of said services to leverage that.
