Other than websites and maybe some web-ish apps not too much else would be affected by S3 outage, a DNS outage would affect more of the Internet vs the web.

Maybe "the internet" was a bit too generic. But it destroyed a lot of tech worker productivity for the day at least.

Slack, GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Docker, etc all had issues.

Websites and web-ish apps are not a chunk of the internet? Also there are tons of non-web-ish apps that depend on S3.

i work on multiple projects that are 100% data crunching with content stored on S3 and accessed solely by ec2 instances. there is no UI or public access. yet if S3 went down, we'd be up a certain creek without a certain self-propelling device and a big whole in the boat without a bucket (physically and in the cloud)

All of Google was gone from my country due to bungled router configuration for half a day some time ago. Now that was fun to watch. Everything from 8.8.8.8 to all their backend APIs for android, to all their web properties, went poof.

There's actually quite a few enterprise client of S3. Lots in finance, too.
