Yeah, I didn’t look at them at all today. I’m still alive. As a user, I don’t care about how punctual they are since I don’t look at them until the end of my work day.

I didn't receive any important phone calls today, does that mean phone system reliability isn't important?

At least for today, for you. Phone systems go down all the time and when that happens, people DO die. No one dies because a notification gets delayed a few hours.
