And the second major CDN outage in a few months is also affecting 0% of the websites I want to visit.

I'm afraid this will be yet another "this happens to everyone big enough, it's just part of the business" argument, just as with data breaches and ransomware. Until it reaches a scale we're watching right now with the latter, when these idiots' irresponsibility and greed actually leads to catastrophic consequences.

I don't think data breaches and ransomeware are considered cost-of-doing-business. When a major company gets hit, the attackers know what they can extort and in the end it does affect their balance sheet.
However I do think CEOs are guilty of hiring CSOs based on their ability to make the board think happy thoughts, because they have an "it won't happen to me" invincibility complex.
Not cost of doing business (which implies something repeatable), the CEO consider data breaches to be more of acceptable risk, very much like preventable workplace accidents. I've literally heard that "happens to everybody" excuse and it left with my jaw open.
Part of that reasoning in case of data breaches is of course "won't happen to us" but also that it's usually not *their* data that is being breached - it's their customers' data they accumulated that gets leaked.
