Why is there not a single mention that this could be a cyberattack? Is the issue only affecting the USA?

Japan is also seeing the issue. It is probably a global issue.

It doesn't look like a cyberattack at all, talking about fixing health checks and the like looks much more like broken automation.

How would that help.
The issue now is fixing this so status of what happens is needed and not how it happened in the first place.
The cause will ans should only be published when the issue is fixed and reviewed.
