For sure. I totally agree with you about what's happening from a business perspective, but I'm just pointing out that it's innately not completely rational and it's not necessarily a good guide to how we should think about risks as a customer. You see this in the cycle of "OMG, GCP had a big security issue, move to AWS!" and then in 6 months it's "AWS has a big security issue, move to Azure!" and then later it's "Azure has a big issue, move to... ???".
It's not that you shouldn't pay attention to the incidents, just that when you're evaluating risks, it's important to not just assume that the most recent and high profile problem is indicative of higher risk in that system, as opposed to it being that system's chance to have its 0.01% failure case hit. As they say in finance, past performance is not indicative of future outcomes.
