I think you're confusing availability zones with regions in this comment.

AWS AZs don't even have consistent naming across AWS accounts.

That’s a feature, not a bug. If we all had the same number one ; then things would not be loaded anything close to evenly. There is some command to find out what the unique ID number is for your particular zones with your naming.

Clarification: 1/3 of sites will go down (those using the AZ that went offline), but my point is the same. Most companies aren't using multiple AZs, let alone multiple regions.
