I think the correct middle ground is a site that lets you select the parts of the platform you rely on and ignore the others. For example, GitHub is "down" for me when I can't push, process PRs, or release packages, but I don't care about Actions or AI features.

You’re kind of an outlier - nobody wants AI but Actions are core for tons of workflows and deployment pipelines. Everyone bought into the “only robots can deploy” mantra (correctly IMO, it’s a huge time and friction saver) only to be bit in the ass by the platform being so u reliable they can be stuck for days without deploys.
