It's harder to do chaos engineering if you're not engineering it. What this is really asking for is the service provider to sell chaos engineering as a service (CEAAS?), on the services they provide. I've wanted this kind of thing for testing cloud infrastructure before: you read about various failure states and scenarios you might want to handle from docs but there's no way to trigger them so you just have to hope that they work as described and your code is correct. At the least, let users simulate the effect of the failures that are part of your API.
This would be great for testing the pieces of the stack that the provider is responsible for, but you may still want to inject chaos into the part of your stack that you do control.
