Even if they did "spare no expense" they could have wound up in the same situation. I see this a lot, "it would be better if only we spent more money" but the only thing casually related to increasing expense is increased withdrawals from the bank account. Spending more money doesn't guarantee a better outcome see US public schools for example.
edit: coming back to this. Was the Cloudflare outage really caused by reading a file that was over 200 lines when the process can only handle a max of 200? That's a good example, I'm sure Cloudflare spared no expense in that part of their infrastructure yet here they are (or were).
