The point seems to be not that Hetzner will never have an outage, but rather that they have a track record of not having outages large enough for everyone to be affected.

Seems like large cloud providers, including AWS, are down quite regularly in comparison, and at such a scale that everything breaks for everyone involved.

If I am affected, I want everyone to be affected, from a messaging perspective

Okay, that helps for the case when you are affected. But what about the case when you are not affected and everyone else is? Doesn't that seem like good PR?

Take the hit of being down once every 10 years compared to being up for the remaining 9 that others are down.
