Every service will have down time. It is about the locus of control and agency. When I self host I can decide when to apply updates and do maintenance. When something does go wrong I can dive in, fix the problem, and move on with my day. Most people don't want any responsibility though so they do everything they can to push work off to a SaaS or cloud provider. That way when the SHTF they can browse reddit and point their boss to the status page. |

Phew, those are a lot of assumptions. Many businesses choose cloud services cause they take the tradeoff between that cost or having someone at hand to maintain the infrastructure, depending on its complexity. I've worked with employers using many cloud providers for years now, the amount of times I would _legitimately_ be prevented from working at all by outages is extremely low.
The agency part, I do get. But come on.
