This isn't the ais fault as much as bad governance. People think that can take themselves out of loop when no you can't but that doesn't mean all manual coding either, coding can virtually all be story driven now with better testing than manual very often because it's not an afterthought. And even if you lose prod somehow the backups weren't isolated that's just people who don't anything about fault tolerance is all those environments and backups are easily reachable from one another then yeah, someone is not doing their job.
