At least for EC2 status updates and their color (green i, etc) are only posted if they meet certain thresholds. IE: Greater than $X number of instances are actually offline or unavailable etc.
Possibly many of the outages you happen to be seeing are in reality not that large thus not meeting the threshold to have a post, or major status update.
