Are we really questioning why cloud providers would offer better uptime guarantees?

Yes, I'm asking why they'd lock themselves into a contract around 5 9s of uptime since the parent poster mentioned that they won't do so. Of course, AWS actually does do this in some cases and they guarantee 99.99% for most things, so it feels a bit arbitrary - 5 minutes vs an hour, roughly.
So then its clearly not as trivial to achieve as you made it sound.
Are you replying to the right person?
