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.
Sure, but some people who were going to buy your competitors product forget about that and will instead find your product. I assume it all evens out.
