Note that this outage by itself, based on their chart, was kicking out errors over the span of about 8 hours. This one outage would have almost entirely blown their downtown allowance under 99.9% availability criteria.
If one big provider actually provided 99.9999%, that would be 30 seconds of all outages over a typical year. Not even long enough for people to generally be sure there was an ‘outage’ as a user. That wouldn’t be bad at all.

Except, if you chose the wrong 1 of that 10 and your company is the only one down for a day, you get fire-bombed. If “TEH INTERNETS ARE DOWN” and your website is down for a day, no one even calls you.
