Whether customers "accept" it or not just comes down to what's in your SLA, if you have one in the first place, and if they are on a contract tier that it applies to. [Many servies provide no SLA for hobby / low tiers, beta features, etc.]
Firebase Auth, for instance, offers no SLA at all [1].
I would be curious to see statistics across a range of SLAs for what % include a force majeure or similar clause which excludes responsibility for upstream outages. I would expect this to be more common with more technical products / more technical customers.
