Who cares if a couple of websites are down a day or even two?
As long as HN is up and running, everything is going to be O.K.!

Wealthy, investment-bloated software companies will be fine.
Smaller companies that provide real world services or goods to make a much more meagre living that rely on some of the services sold to them by said software companies will be impacted much more greatly.
Losing a day or two of sales to someone who relies on making sales every day can be a growing hardship.
This doesn’t just impact developers. It’s exactly this kind of myopic thinking that leads to scenarios like mass outages.
You don't lose a day of sales, customers come back when the site is up again.
Some of them do. There are very few products or services where all of them will.
