You may be on to something

Geographic dispersal of computing assets is considered good business in this day and age. Everything consolidated at one site, or campus, or even on adjacent power grids is a known bad idea for any large 24x7x365 company.

It only makes sense to disperse assets geographically for safety's sake, but that also costs money. If your business model is a low margin business model, then you have to find a new low margin product to pay for the increased services. If good Business Continuance practices require X resources, then 2X or even 3X give you a product you can potentially sell.
