Has Amazon become a single point of failure..?
AWS has only one availability zone down right now, US-EAST-1. With proper redundant design across multiple availability zones, this outage isn't an issue. All it does it show us the companies who are bad at reliability engineering.
US-EAST-1 is a REGION. AWS's global services were down. The global service outage (api/s3/cf/r53 etc) affected all regions.
Even if you had a hot/hot setup that spanned from EAST-1 to WEST-2 it would have had issues because it's a global service outage. There would be nothing routing your traffic between regions, cause it's a global services outage...
If it's anyone's fault for not having a proper redundant design it's AWS... they're too dependent on EAST-1.
