AWS doesn't go down that often to impact such decisions I wouldn't think... I think it's more likely that these companies calculated that AWS isn't worth the price for their workloads?
I've been at several companies where just a day's worth of their AWS costs would be able to finance significantly stronger compute/storage, in addition to an administration team for all that. (Of course it's not that simple, but you get what I mean)
You pay a premium for the privilege of blaming someone else when the servers go down.
