Why would they? As long as their business is profitable, there is no reason to launch a lawsuit that could cost them their business just for some repair cost.

Imagine you have 50 EC2 instances and each of them suffers 15% downtime monthly. Amazon is asking money to reboot them and get them up and running.

That's different isn't it? Those McDonalds aren't completely shut down, but suffers 'performance' issues where they still have most of their revenue, just not all of what they would regularly have. And your business don't depend on AWS, while most McDonalds restaurants do depend on McDonald to have a business to begin with.
