Agree, and multi AZ is usually easy. IME with AWS and GCP the control plane is the same, the scaling works across AZ, bandwidth is free and latency is near zero. The level of effort to do that is simply ticking the right boxes at setup time IME.

Cross-AZ bandwidth is far from free and the biggest reason companies avoid it (IMO). Also latency is not near zero but I don't think that's the primary reason.

That's true. The moment your data leaves the region you start paying for egress and that can get expensive quickly. Still beats the crap out of multicloud, though :)
