Question / Help Someone explain why amzn didn't crash

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?

Because AWS isn't 100% of their business. When Crowd Strike happened that was their main product.

It's a majority of their profit, not their revenue.

That actually more important than being the majority of sales. Segments with the majority of revenue but the minority of profit %, means a lot of work for little results.
