Dude, I literally was an SRE there. I'm well aware of how this stuff works.

If some of those things listed had actual widespread outages, it would have been much much worse.

I don't understand your argument? Wasn't GCP's own status page calling them outages? Some of our upstream providers (who use GCP) were definitely affected and down.

As a former SRE there, is "widespread outage" a specific, special kind of classification that's not obvious to the public just by looking at the status page...? Or what do you mean?
