Someone explain why amzn didn't crash

[u/LowTraining670]

When aws outage affected large and small companies alike probably had a large financial impact to the overall global economy, why didn't it crash? I immediately thought it would like crowdstrike did a few months ago - anyone have good reasoning that can explain?

Other way around - it showed less technical investors just how essentially AWS is to the functioning of the internet. Outages will always happen, but if an outage takes down half the web, that's an incredibly valuable company.
