So did a previous company i worked at, all our stuff was in west-2.. then east-1 went down and some global backend services that aws depended on also went down and effected west-2.

I'm not sure a lot of companies are really looking at the costs of multi-region resiliency and hot failovers vs being down for 6 hours every year or so and writing that check.

Yep. Many, many companies are fine saying “we’re going to be no more available than AWS is.”

Customers are generally a lot more understanding if half the internet goes down at the same time as you.

Yes, and that's a major reason so many just use us-east-1.
