Unfortunately they are about to be taught a hard lesson in what "free" really means.

Big tech free services have WAY better uptime than commercial alternatives.
That's not what they meant by free.
That'll depend on the length of the outage, other tasks they can do during it, and the uptime and market penetration of any competing services.

I don't think much of a lesson is going to occur here. It'll be a brief blip that impacts few meaningfully.
