I agree. I'm already annoyed at Hetzner with their 5 minute lag in reporting network outages where I'm regularly noticing them, investigating, checking status and then only after a few minutes see them updating and saying "it's us". If you work with Microsoft, you might as well spend a few bucks extra and have an external monitoring system monitor Microsoft's systems so you get real-time third-party confirmation when your monitoring alerts you of issues concerning your system. It's the price you pay for scale, I guess. More money involved = more lawyers involved = more accountants involved = more MBAs involved = more corporate bullshit.
