Do they, though? AWS and CloudFlare recently had the worst outages in their history, and GitHub is flirting with zero nines of uptime these days. Doesn’t seem to have cost them any business.

An outage is the best failure that can happen. The worst that can happen depends on the system but could be anything from a business collapsing because of an attack, your production database being stolen and wiped, all the way to someone dying.
