who cares about lower percentage tiers in the world of big data? what does the p30 or 50 even matter at large scale?

See Gil Tene's talk on how not to measure latency.

What matters is what most of your customers will get - p99, p999, p9999, p100.

Ironically, Gil Tene uses the talk to sell you the Azul C4 pauseless GC, which shall easily invalidate your 10x lower p99 latency claim. Of course we also have zgc and shenandoah these days.

You are assuming that all workloads are customer facing.
