Can we talk about the checkout button that vanished on my site last Friday?

Gently, I'd push back on the idea that it vanished - more likely, it was hidden by a CSS or JavaScript conflict that happened after a recent update. CSS specificity, you know, can be a real pain when a new stylesheet overrides the button's display property to 'none' or sets its z-index behind something else. Maybe check if any plugins updated last Thursday or Friday around that time, because that's usually the culprit in my experience (speaking from way too many late nights debugging). If you inspect the button element in your browser's dev tools, look for any 'display: none' or 'visibility: hidden' in the computed styles tab. That should at least point to which rule is killing your button, even if the fix takes some digging.

Yeah but what if the button is still there in the HTML but just not rendering? I've seen that happen where the CSS isn't the problem but some JavaScript is catching an error and silently breaking before it can show the button. Did you check the console for any red errors that might be stopping a script from running?
