Say there's a fire, and I lose my phone, iMac and PC at the same time... I can access my stuff from any computer in the world by logging into iCloud.

Should, for some bizarre reason, my iCloud gets restricted / canceled (legitimately or in error) I have the google account on my phone. Likewise if it happened to my google account (again, highly unlikely) I still have my iCloud...

I really cant see the point of realistic failure... So please - Enlighten me?

Many things, most commonly the facts that many apps you install get access to your contacts, and that access is one of the most used data-sources to harvest emails - and in this case also your password.
