Why does using external third-party APIs for simple content blogs create structural vulnerabilities?

I am building an automated directory site. Why is it structurally better to use local JSON data structures or database records instead of live-fetching data from external APIs?

Live external APIs introduce latency, risk of sudden breaking changes, and expensive premium monthly subscription costs. Storing records inside local JSON arrays or native SQL tables gives you 100% uptime, lightning-fast loads on shared hosting, and zero dependency fees.
