Perfect. I couldn't have put it better myself.

I think few parts are special SKUs and I guess they are vulnerable to state-created spywares, but who cares? If I may put my two cents in, I seriously doubt there are many trade secrets stored in Google or Amazon public clouds, and those companies trusting hyperscalers to store sensitive data...

The list includes the world’s four largest memory suppliers, three largest foundries, the largest microprocessor supplier, and Texas Instruments and ST—the two biggest suppliers of analog ICs. http://www.icinsights.com/news/bulletins/Samsung-TSMC-Remain-Tops-In-Available-Wafer-Fab-Capacity/...

Not exactly. Most (if not all) Cisco and HP switches are "Made in Taiwan" BTW HP's Cloudline servers will be built in partnership with Foxconn. HP has been building servers with the Taipei-based electronics maker over the last year, but is now giving a name to its server line: Cloudline

The buyer is just searching the lowest price for a "wish list". I don't think it is a problem because there is no real problem to be solved. Chances are the same happens in zillions areas where you are not an expert and you don't care/search expert opinion because you don't value the...

"risk management and mitigation of potential damages" ;-)

It is a solid, huge, diverse, highly-redundant fault-tolerant resilient network. Moreover Online.net is continually upgrading routers and adding capacity, carriers, and peering to cope with increasing traffic. From sustained 150Gbps in March 2014 to 550Gbps in February 2016...

Assuming you are using a reputable provider, backup is useful to restore one or a set of files (edited, updated, removed, compromised, damaged). Nothing more. Of course if one is using a fly-by-night provider there are others "creative" uses for backup ... but those users think rsync is backup...
