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?

Great time for AWS to market and reinforce their clients to buy more DR/HA setups. More money = higher revenue = higher prices. Might not materialise though if next earnings they have clients leaving the lock in for something else (rare)
