I say again "I know about the advantages" - just didn't want to try it in productions without properly testing it before
Anyway, a Fortune 500 company usually controls the complete hardware, have staff in the DC (or their own DC ...) - that's kind of different of trusting a 3rd party with it - and way more costly. Also, just because they use it in production it doesn't mean they solely rely on it.
Additionally you need to keep off-site backups for yourself anyway no matter how "secure" you think something is (imagine a host going broke, fire/fatal accident in a DC, roque employee calling an rm -rf *, whatever) - like big companies "cloning" their DC completely a few hundred miles away, use tape storage systems, etc...
