alt Hacker NewsIronically drop box and one drive folders I can still somewhat understand as they are "backuped" in other ways (but potentially not reliable so I also understand why people do not like that).
But .git? It does not mean you have it synced to GitHub or anything reliable?
If you do anything then only backup the .git folder and not the checkout.
But backing up the checkout and not the .git folder is crazy.

No they are not. This is explicitly addressed in the article itself.
Oftentimes the important data that needs restoring is in the checkout: uncommitted and unstaged changes that represent hours of work.
Microsoft makes no guarantees on onedrive, you are responsible for backing up that data. Of course they try hard to keep it safe, but contractually they give no promises
I use backblaze and have repos I dont push for this reason so I am a bit stunned lol
