Certainly one might think the risk of losing it was small, and so not do anything about it, but in the case of people who've already lost data that seems closer to willful blindness [1] than merely not appreciating what the risks are.
[1] or lack of capability in some way, though I'd be surprised if that applied to much of my friends list.
If the impact of losing it is small ... yes, that might well make it not worth backing up (or insuring, for a concrete object), but I'm not sure I'd entirely agree that it's then irreplaceable, as I'd understand the word. I think the word has a stronger meaning than “it'd be a bit of a nuisance to lose it”.
