This is planning future based on best things in the past. Not completely irrational and if you can't afford plan B, okayish.
But thinking AWS SLA is granted forever, and everyone should put all its eggs in it because "everyone do it" is neither wise not safe. Those who can afford it, and there are many businesses like that out there, should have a plan B. And actually AWS should not necessarily be plan A.
Nothing is forever. Not the Roman empire, not Inca empire, not china dynasties, not USA geological supremacy. That's not a question of if but when. It doesn't need to be through a lot of suffering, but if we don't systematically organise for a humanity which spread well being for everyone in a systematically resilient way, we will make it through more lot of tragic consequences when this or that single point of failure finally falls.
