Basic hygiene security hygiene pretty much removes ransomware as a threat.

I cant tell if you’re being flippant, or naive. There is nothing that removes any category of malware as a threat.

Sure, properly isolated backups that run often will mitigate most of the risks from ransomware, but it’s quite a reach to claim that it’s pretty much removed as a threat. Especially since you would still need to cleanup and restore.
