Unless evil corp was using a blockchain to have an immutable ledger, there's a chance (although extremely small)

If evil corp stores said buzzword stack exclusively on that large rack that's currently on fire because of compliance nothing is gained. Not every problem is a nail.
I don’t follow, are you saying this outage was caused by compliance or that the blockchain can’t help here because of compliance?
Neither, I was trying to suggest that offering Blockchain and related technologies as a solution to every problem in existence is kind of an annoying trend. I don't really see the outage discussed here as a technical problem. Quite literally any failover mechanism would have been preferrable here.
