Depends on how technical your customer base is. Even as a developer I would tend not to ascribe too much signal to that message. All it tells me is that you don't use AWS.
"We stayed online when GCP, AWS, and Azure go down" is a different story. On the other hand, if those three go down simultaneously, I suspect the state of the world will be such that I'm not worried about the internet.
I would expect there are BGP issues that could do that, at least for large swaths of the internet.
I do also remember in one of the recent AWS outages, the google cloud compute service had lower availability due to failovers hitting all at once

If nothing else, with those three all down, so will most news sources be -- so even if you're up, your customers won't get to hear about it.
