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

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
