You are mixing availability (access at any given moment) with durability (not losing data). From the FAQ:
Cloud Storage is designed for 99.999999999% (11 9's) annual durability, which is appropriate for even primary storage and business-critical applications. This high durability level is achieved through erasure coding that stores data pieces redundantly across multiple devices located in multiple availability zones.
Disclaimer: I work at GCP, although not in GCS specifically.
