They did it for stable performance, because failures are in fact frequent. Things are much worse once you go out into the public internet, where different hosting providers communicate over all kinds of networks with all kinds of issues.

FaunaDB can tolerate the loss or partition of a minority of replicas (datacenters, AZs, or racks) in a cluster, so if you want to tolerate more concurrent failures, just add more replicas.
For example, a 7 replica FaunaDB cluster can lose 3 replicas and maintain availability for reads and writes; better than Aurora in your example.
