I can't be the only one let down that there wasn't some new slot design. Something with pizzazz and flare.

Yep. Self-reporting status pages are pretty near worthless. At my former large company (not FAANG), we weren't allowed to update the status page until we got VP approval, which also required approval from both PR and Legal. It would take a lot more time and effort to get those approvals than to just fix the problem and move on.
SLA contracts, clawbacks, and performance obligations make these pages a bit of a minefield for CSPs. When I was at a top-tier CSP, we had the status page that was public, one that was for a trusted tier of customers, one built for a customer-by-customer basis, and one for internal engineering.
You'd think so wouldn't you?
DownDetector also reports azure and oracle cloud, I can't see then also being dependant on GCP...
I guess down detector isn't a full source of truth though.

Both green
Down Detector can have a poor signal to noise ratio given from what I am assuming is users submitting "this is broken" for any particular app. Probably compounded by many hearing of a GCP issue, checking their own cloud service, and reporting the problem at the same time.
I feel like a kindred soul of sorts with this author.
I’m on my fourth iteration of a smart home setup with HA. Depression, neglect, a feeling that I need to burn it all down and restart, and depression again were all extinction level events for my setup. At one point I had meticulous Grafana dashboards worthy of a Golden Grot that could tell you the concentration of CO2, the pressure waves from the Tonga eruption, a map of Puget Sound gas prices, and other bits and bobs. I had dozens of Airthings sensors, plant sensors, ZWave temp sensors, three weather stations, countless LIFX bulbs, all working in unison to give me a pulse on my house.
Then I had a bout of the existential sads and just stopped looking at the slack notifications when HA connected the dots between a spike in radon and a nearby earthquake. I stopped caring that the CO2 concentration in my office was over 750ppm, or that watering my plants in my office in the winter was contributing to increased particulate in the air. Because I wasn’t listening to the interesting stuff, I stopped listening to the important stuff- alerts about failed drives, dying batteries, and broken updates.
Not caring felt so freeing. I didn’t start things up again until a few months later when I realized I wanted something cool to show in an interview. The cycle started anew.
Complex datasets are always in demand! I wish we'd gotten into something simpler, because in this specific case it's very high maintenance. The data sources constantly change and have no standard for reporting. We try to make it as simple as possible for people who need the information, so it's a lot of work on our side.
Are you folks working directly with utility companies or pulling the data yourselves?

Complete aside, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen Apple’s internal DNS outside of Apple.
Learned about this last night and needless to say it was a gut punch. There is a whole generation of us that have Gordon to thank for our monthly pilgrimage to the magazine section looking for the latest edition of Maximum PC. Once a year we were treated to a buffet of hardware with amazingly high specs and prices to match with these Dream Machines later serving as mental checkpoints of the eras fastest personal compute. The. There was the effort that Gordon put into consumer advocacy in his columns, bad parts, badder corporate practices, and he was there fighting for us on the printed page.
Rest in peace Gordon.
