> The official status page breaks down availability by-service

That’s part of the problem, actually. I’ve noticed for years that some Firebase service distruptions go unreported, and it was clear that reporting individual services was a way to avoid showing the end-to-end summary. It doesn’t matter that all of Firebase’s servers are up and running, if the end-to-end service they provide isn’t working.

Firebase offers a variety of individual services, and most apps pick up only the services they need. So reporting service-by-service makes more sense.

That’s true, and beside the point. The problem isn’t reporting individual services, the problem is giving the impression that uptime for individual services equals uptime for Firebase as a whole.
