Except that AWS is (for better or for worse) a tier 1 network solutions provider, in part because of advertised uptime. Due to that, it is possible for a minor AWS outage to result in lack of 911 service in an area, for example. Hopefully they have the common sense to try out these new things on less critical nodes though.

Better spread across different providers.
Remember that time a popular cloud hoster lost a customer’s data, including their in-service backups? Luckily, they had off-service backups.
