This is why I’m fine paying for iCloud backups. ducks out of the way
I'm keeping this because I really do feel like "techie" people forget that tech shit shit like back ups are a chore that 99% of people would rather not deal with.

Mind if I hang out in this void space with you until things die down out there?

ALL people forget that different people have different priorities and as such will “slack” where others are “diligent”. Our lives have gotten so complex that you would have a hard time finding a single person that does not slack in some areas, deemed important by some subset of society. Sport, nutrition, financial security, education, minimal tech secop, political action (atleast voting), a clean living space, clothing thats considered acceptable, an active social live and the list goes on.
So to summarize, of course “techies” forget that backups are not important to most people. Thats just normal behaviour for people in general.

It does strike me as funny that some fixate on the ‘why bother’ question when viewing what amounts to be another person’s hobby.

I notice that a lot here on Lemmy, and I think that's because most of us here have at least an above-average understanding of current technologies, and tend to forget that we're a very small minority of people. So when above-average understandings are commonplace in your online bubble, your view of what an "average" understanding is can become skewed.

Frankly, it’s a bit insufferable at times. Lenny really put into focus how we all sound, myself included, at times (most of the time). We need a more diverse mix of people around here!

I agree! I think the Fediverse needs more "normies" to be present around here. Not just for the sake of having more numbers and being a more popular platform, but we need difference of opinion, and it needs to be embraced much better than it currently is.
When everybody in a community agrees on 99% of things, they tend to become rather tight-knit. But whenever that 1% comes up which goes against the flow, the reactions around here tend to be quick and harsh, and the 99% of other things you previously agreed with that person on get thrown out the window all because they don't share the same opinion about Linux as you, or something.
It's not a healthy pattern for a growing community.
