I heard this years ago from someone, but there's material impact to a company's bottom line if those pages get updated, so that's why someone fairly senior has to usually "approve" it. Obviously it's technically trivial, but if they acknowledge downtime (for example, like in the AWS case), investors will have questions, it might make quarterly reports, and it might impact stock price.

So it's not just a "status page," it's an indicator that could affect market sentiment, so there's a lot of pressure to leave everything "green" until there's no way to avoid it.

I feel like there should at least be some sort of disclaimer then that tells me the status page can take up to xx minutes to show an outage and not make it seem as if it is updated instantaniously. That way I could way those xx minutes before I file a ticket with support and not have the case thinking it is an isolated problem for me instead of a major outage.
