Facebook went down for 6 hours and they are back to using it the next day without a second of hesitation.

Maybe WhatsApp was affected by some people who, so I've heard, rely on it heavily. They may have (smartly) switched to a more decentralized platform to handle their critical communications.

So did they shed some edge-case users? Sure. Will it matter in the long run? Not at all.

Why is that relevant at all?

If I have a blackout for six hours, I'm gonna go back to using electricity once it's back.
