As they answer the poll on the data center hosted website, before ordering delivery by making a data center hosted phone call, with the driver getting to their house via datacenter hosted mapping service. The driver hands them their food along with a small Amazon delivery box that was waiting on their porch, delivered via the work of many data centers. They then go enjoy a streaming movie as they eat their dinner, after telling Alexa to dim the lights, and to order more napkins.

I dont have an Alexa.

and maybe what I’m taking away from your post is too many god damned things rely on a datacenter.

Hyper scale data centers are absolutely not the same, and you're making it sound as if people have a real choice when oligarchs control everything.

All I'm getting from your comment is maybe the government should provide public options for payment processors, gig workers, social media, email, and operating systems.

Maybe they should start by nationalizing a few of these companies and provide the benefits to the public instead of the billionaires.
