Yeah that's fair. It's part of the advertising in some sectors, but not all. A lot of the companies I've bought products from tend to advertise their uptime, and that's the type of company I think about when I think about uptime stats. However, a lot of the companies I've sold products to tended to not talk about it, and their uptime was often in the 2 nines to 3 nines, if not a lot worse. Somehow they still managed to keep going lol. Some of them anyway.
