AWS does it more efficiently; it takes down many startups at a time when us-east-1 goes down.

If my cloud provider brings my startup down, it's my problem. If they bring all the startups down, that's their problem.

During my 5 years of my startup, we had only 1 outage due to AWS because we picked us-west-2 as the primary reason. If anyone starting a company and picks us-east-1 as the primary reason, they should be fired. There's absolutely no reason to be in that region.

And we all celebrate it since we can't do any work
That’s an entirely different type of problem, and avoidable by just using us-east-2 (I still don’t understand why people default to us-east-1 unless they require some highly specific services).
