But usually with smarter people operating more complex and resilient systems.
Or so you’d think lol.

No, but their uptime is a lot better than most. A lot of companies would have monthly outages just for patching before they moved to massively scaled hosted services.
Remember when BlackBerry would have an outage maybe once a year and everyone complained?

True but the impact of these AWS/Azure/Google outages is huge and affects companies and services world wide.

It’s only really noteworthy because it affects everyone at the same time. If everyone had an individual outage for the same duration at a random time, it wouldn’t even be noticeable in most cases.

On the other hand, when service X is down, you can go to another service or do something else… When half of the services are down, well…

Back to self hosted datacenters it is. We rely on big tech way too much.
