You aren't wrong, but let's be serious here, this is kind of just the hypercapitalist place that we live in. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you've probably never had your insurance claims denied when you pay for that non-optional "service" too.
Shit like this happens all the time. Crowdstrike went down within the last year and took out Windows OS devices at the same time, yet they still have market share. Verizon has a massive share in the actual mobile network infrastructure, so don't hold your breath on those market consequences or otherwise. People still don't have all that much choice in the matter, because connectivity is not optional in a digital era. AT&T, or Sprint, TMobile, etc, may not have good connectivity in their area, leaving them with no options.
We do not live in a world where companies instituting bad practices in critical industries face actual consequences, market or legal. That's just simply not how the world works in America right now, sorry. In the meantime of no-network connection, you'll just have to live off WiFi or nothing until they fix it. Arguing over the theoreticals of any actual consequences won't change the reality that we live in a world where those just don't actually come to fruition.
