Multi cloud is very difficult to do well.

Multi region is already hard enough with transactional management not being easy to split between the regions, and multi-cloud is another order of magnitude more difficult than multi region.

With that said, use2 and others were still up, so if they were just multi region and failed over to east2 they would have been fine.
