I wouldn't look at it that way. Even companies not leveraging AWS directly will be impacted.

    Especially Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, who are all at this very moment probably sending out sales droids in vast numbers

    There's so much vendor lock in with AWS, migrating to another provider over an outage even lasting 24h would be a tough sell. This isn't unique to AWS either, each of the cloud vendors have their own lock in and their own problems. If you had the money you could run in multiple clouds, but for most businesses who were only running in a single region, I can't imagine they'd choose this option.
