Some people care about it but not enough to justify the added downsides - multi-data center is expensive (you pay per data center) and it’s complex (data sharding/duplication/sync).
If you’re Amazon where every second is millions of $ in transactions you care more than StartUp that has 1 request per minute. Even if you accept the risk, you still care when your DC goes down.
Also, a large chunk of AWS is managed from a single data center so if that one goes down you may still have issues with your service in another data center.
