Why? It's totally reasonable that your own GHE instance will have better uptime.
Running GitHub.com is much, much harder than a private instance (DB scale-out, load, ...).
Our in-house Gerrit infra and CI has had a significantly better uptime than GitHub over the past year, but we have hundreds, not 60 million users and exabytes of storage :-)
