It's now past 12:00 US/Pacific and the incident is still ongoing. I'm thinking that they don't have as many customers as they'd like us to believe. There's been very little discussion and no outrage. If AWS had an incident lasting this long, there would be a lot more noise.

If AWS had an incident this long, there would be no noise and no public post about it. And the customer support would keep repeating have you try buying bigger instances?
