> When AWS/GCP goes down, how do most handle HA?
This is a disingenuous scenario. SQLite doesn't buy you uptime if you deploy your app to AWS/GCP, and you can just as easily deploy a proper RDBMS such as postgres to a small provider/self-host.
Do you actually have any concrete scenario that supports your belief?

This is...not true of many hyperscaler outages? Frequently, outages will leave individual VMs running but affect only higher-order services typically used in more complex architectures. Folks running an SQLite on a EC2 often will not be affected.
And obviously, don't use us-east-1. This One Simple Trick can improve your HA story.
