Only true if your audience doesn't require Edge distribution, also if your Origin can handle the increased load and security issues, also if you don't use any advanced features (routing, edge compute...).

If your site is only hosted on one server and it catches fire, you can swiftly reinstall on a new server and change the IP your domain is pointing to, too... Still a single point of failure.

		If I had pointed my name servers somewhere else, then that of course would be the new single point of failure. You can't escape it, no matter how much hacker snark and down votes you have.
