We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

No, because most of them have data to download anyway, so if they go down, the APK itself will be useless.
If you backup /obb's, it usually won't. From Android 1.0 - 11, that should be fine.
The hard part is with newer Androids that block access to the /Android/data/obb trees.
There's many ways to access obb, like use the built-in file manager.
