Being in DR,I live my life wondering about that too. I spend alot of extra time checking accounts and making sure that I print (yes, sneakernet) out important data as well as have manual copies of passwords. Its old school, but it removes the risk to my business in case of a total loss of a global service and lowers the risk of a heart attack and related stress.
The rest of the world may not be so energetic re: their accounts and data, so it would be painful for many, it depends on their how much risk they are willing to experience.
Being in DR, it is very difficult for businesses to allocate the time and resources to good planning - for many, DR is an insurance policy. Staff: engineering and development are focused on putting out fires however, a real DR is more than most companies can handle if they have not planned accordingly or practiced through testing failover/normalization processes as well as performing component-level testing.
