What? People don't like to be called incompetent ? Who knew ? ;)
The chance of an average American being in a car accident in the next 5 years is 1 in 4. 37,000 people die each year in car accidents and over 2 million are injured. Yet most of us still drive even though a lot of us have alternatives. Having your site compromised is bad but for most of us it's a lot better than being dead. My point is that life is full of risks and trade offs.
Using a CDN like googleapis to host some of your content can improve the performance of your site, especially in terms of latency which is often a bigger concern on mobile networks than bandwidth.
One has to weigh the risks of using a CDN against the benefits. If you understand the risks and decided that it's worth it in your case, it many not be incompetent at all.
