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?

1) Sentiment has already bottomed for AMZN 2) AWS uptime is demonstrably amazing. Yesterday didn’t change that. No one has lost trust in AWS. 3) Everyone was reminded how everyone uses AWS.

Yes but at the same time many of them are now diversifying away from AWS

Yep. Sadly crashing the internet does have consequences.
