Yes your cases are anecdotes. There are plenty of AWS examples to refer to, including some region failures posted here or how one needs a PhD to jungle around their offerings and administration panels.

My profile bio is what I do in 2019, not what I have done since mid-80's.

In fact I have my share of delivering projects in AWS, across multiple kinds of stacks, all the way back when EC2 was started.
