2 outage in 5 years sounds pretty low, to be honest.

Disclaimer: google employee in ads, who worked on many many fires throughout the years, but talking from my personal perspective and not from my employer. I am sure we are striving to have 0, but realistically, i have seen many that says things happen. Learn, and improve.

The issue people have with it is that it's global, not regional, indicating that there are dependencies in the entire architecture that people does not expect to be there.

There are many other possible causes for global outages, that specific one is not high on my list of likely culprits.

5 years? I remember a major outage maybe in the past year.

I believe there was a multi-hour global YouTube/Bigtable/Cloud SQL/Datastore outage in October.

Then there was the global load balancer outage in July.

Looking though the incident history, there were essentially monthly multi-region or global service disruptions of various services.
