So you don't get any disappointment or regret from the article at all? It reads to you like someone merely lamenting that it happened to be them while fully aware that they chose the risk and are fully responsible for this outcome?
Don't be silly, tech companies market themselves to people as reliable. They do their best to give people the impression that they don't need to weigh reliability against convenience and that they can have the best of both worlds.
