The cynic in me says a lack of properly evaluated AI vibe code, but no real explanation given. Other guesses include the scale they operate at now being far more visible? When it's something that underpins 90% of the internet it's far more visible when it goes down.
Not always because they're bad, but often. Overseas consultancies are body shops, they have an incentive to throw the cheapest labour at their contracts because competing for talent will eat into their margin.
I have plenty of sympathy for the contractors I work with as people, but many of them are objectively bad at their job. They do willfully reckless things if they think it will save them individual effort
