Despite all of the snark here, in my experience Salesforce SRE team is quite competent. The engineering challenges of running a large PaaS - not just with own apps, but with millions of customer-written apps running on it - are quite interesting, and sadly things happen. The status page makes sense to actual customers, it's the particular "pods" where a given service runs.
Terrible, I'd argue the vast majority of modern big tech offerings are extremely poor quality where the need for surveillance in the form of constant monitoring/advertising metrics deliberately makes these types of services more costly to maintain and repair over time.
Sure there are like 3 or 5 decent services out there (like S3) but the vast majority are over engineered to be user hostile while extracting out whatever resources they can from their customers.
