What do they think their precious wifi routers plug into?

An actual cloud?

When it rains are they terrified of losing their data?

And a lot of people do. Cellular and satellite internet is excellent for rural and certain business use cases. I have gigabit fiber, and I'm considering one of those in case the Internet goes out if fiber is hit or if we lose utility power (I have a battery backup system).

Yes. Those folks are scared when it rains too hard. The connection does become more unstable.

I still acknowledge that your point is valid for everyone else however.
