Exact same thought went through my head. Also note in the first few paragraphs they acknowledge the worst impacts to users. That's very selfless - often corporate postmortems downplay the impact, which frustrates users more. Incidentally, a critical service I use (Postmark) had an outage this week and I didn't even hear from them (I found out via a random twitter post). Shows the difference.
Disclaimer: I'm not a network engineer so I may be misunderstanding the practicality and complexity of such a workaround.

Is it that complicated for big tech to reply politely with the above statement when they suddenly disable your account for no obvious reason!

It is much more difficult for corporate cogs to have that level of care compared to someone who does their things with passion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
lichess is hardly a "cheap project" though :P It's one of the most popular chess platforms
Sure, but they seem to be extremely budget constrained. ;)
Here is a comparison of free and their premium accounts:
The main lichess engine (lila, open source) is a single monolith program that's deployed on a single server. It serves ~5 million games per day. But there are a several other pieces too. They discuss the architecture here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crKNBSpO2_I BTW consider donating if you use lichess.
Wow. ~US$40k/mo running costs, with about US$5k/mo for server hosting: https://lichess.org/costs It looks like the servers are individually managed via OVH or similar, rather than running their own gear in co-location or similar. Wonder why?
