Tyler's point is that most companies don't have anywhere near the computing scale and workforce size which Amazon and Google have. Most companies don't have any option other than to take services offline during certain types of maintenance.

If they have no need, they won't structure their infrastructure for it because doing so is expensive. Big cloud companies have that figured out because their customers want it. Other, smaller sites feel that their money is better spent elsewhere.
