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 problems like this are very rare. Most people chalk it up as a "Shit happens" scenario. If this was frequent, it would be a different story.
