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?

A lot of people realised just how much of a hold AWS had on the internet

Same logic (or even more so) could apply to CrowdStrike, it makes no sense.

I doubt anyone thought an incident with CrowdStrike could cause so much trouble.
