I don't understand how those are ways to de-risk that risk.

As an example, I am talking about a company like "Buffer" or Twitter developers that rely on the Twitter API for their startup.



The original comment was ambiguous, so I just treated it as "picking a 3rd party platform" and graded based on reliability of future existence. A number of platforms go down for various reasons (esp. freemium-based). Don't you want a platform that is mostly guaranteed to stick around while you use it?
