From my (old) experience working at one, yes. The annoyance of having to maintain a second machine (especially when cleaning and maintenance involved a physical person cleaning things) was not worth keeping extra 9's of uptime.

Well again, looking at the graph, I'm seeing 10-20% down time, so it's not "just an extra 9"

I think you might find that in a certain way it is. 90% to 99% is an extra nine.
