Forgive me if I'm wrong about this, but it would seem to me that the FAA NOTAM system had orders of magnitude more uptime than literally any product produced by so called "professional" "engineers" at big software companies.

If it wasn't then who built it? Or is it the quotes we should focus on.

I think the point still stands but in a different way. The architecture was designed to be quite reliable.
AWS uptime is pretty insane
According to their own status page, yes

yes, some part of aws somewhere is always online.
fully functional? 7.12.2021 alone was enough to kill that statement for the next few years.
Sure, but we do make intentional tradeoffs, at least sometimes.

More than google.com? Maybe, but it's close. Also, I'd be surprised if those behind NOTAM were all "professional engineers" since software PEs are pretty rare, relatively speaking. Especially in the US.
You're comparing database to a service. NOTAM is real-time, google.com is not.
By that standard google.com is always down.
