It also feels like AWS (or Azure) isn't really that much more reliable than your own thing. But half the internet is down at the same time so you don't get blamed as much.

Its the "No one gets blamed for going IBM" thing in the modern era. They are making it someone elses fault and absolves the blame. The problem is if your competitor is still up you could be loosing customers on average mid day outage, even if they are down for 3x as long its not when it matters.
