Go have a look at Down Detector . Notice how all the graphs on the front page are similar? They run on Amazon's networks. Probably not all of them but most listed there definitely do.
Half of my smart home stuff that uses cloud comms is either down or intermittent. At least I have ways to control most of it internally either with an app that is still up or my z-wave controller.
You don't have to be using Amazon to be affected by an Amazon outage.
Frankly I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about businesses suffering by losing access to their apps or email. I know for example that I read Splunk services were down in some areas. Real stuff depends on these networks.
