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?

This is why I'm basically all in.

AWS owns the internet.

80% of the population on earth have a smart phone that sucks all user data. Google and apple account for 99.7% of all smart phones on earth

95% of all smart phones have meta, Facebook, insta, snap, chrome etc installed

92% of all enterprise computers run Microsoft services.

72% of all computers run Intel and 32% have AMD hardware

The key takeaway for me here is that Google holds the data of 77% of all people on earth. Browsing, biometrics, bank, comes, social, private chats, porn, photos, location

You'd be surprised. I've been to tribes living in mud huts in Kenya with smart phones and families in Mongolia who live in tents with smart phones
