“Test in a live environment before the region becomes open to customers” is a test that’s not entirely representative for “the region had an emergency shutdown with customers on it.” And the latter is something that you can’t reliably test obviously - unless you decide to crash a whole region in live traffic.

I’m sure they have checklist and procedures, but an unknowable laundry list of things will go wrong.
