If you look into the history of some of our most recent, major disasters, they've happened under the watch of authoritarian governments. Two that spring to mind would be Chernobyl and Covid.
Companies running under those governments should surely be susceptible to similar issues because the fish rots from the head down. The culture and fear of speaking out and there for steering things in the right direction would be really dangerous for a company like Amazon and the AWS ecosystem.
