The number of incidents isn't so much of a problem as the amount of downtime is. That would be more interesting to see.

So, if my math is right (for 2021 only): 1888 min / 525,600 min = 99.64% uptime.

If it was more like 99.80+ I think I would be like "meh", but honestly for the price you pay that's not terrible. Still, for a company at the Microsoft level, it should be 99.80 at least.

This is the same Microsoft that reboots laptops in the middle of teams calls to do hour long update cycles. >99% is implausibly good.
