Someone here in hn said at Amazon AWS they are required direct CTO approvals to reflect negative realities. Maybe that’s the case for anyone these days.

Not true. Only for written things like postmortems. Automated systems need to be vetted but can update things like status pages on their own.

The issue isn't "negative" realities, it is saying something while investigating that might break contracts only to find later that it wasn't true.
