It can even blow out core switches and keep on trucking.
The staff don't even notice as its seemless.

Web is much easier to sync and sql is pretty easy compared to other services .
Using VSS and then pushing those up with something like EMC is very easily doable for having quick turn around on backup of a failed box.
Blow up a new vm, hell have a hot stand by image.
Drop the last snapshot onto it, and bang, you are back online in less then 15 minutes.

We done with our pissing match?
No pissing match going on here. I'm sure this is a very affordable setup for a company that sells a handful of laser jammers to enthusiasts that they work on. This may shock you but not everyone working on LIDAR jamming is a cloud/virtualization/web guru or decides that it's worth their money to hire one.

I do agree with you that they should have done a better job at keeping their site up. But we still have no clue what exactly broke in their setup, so this is all speculation.
