Some people prefer to pay for providers whose datacenters have fire protection.

A single data center is not reliable. We all know in 2022 that having a backup offsite is important. No data center can offer 100% uptime in perpetuity.

Sure but the less reliable the more those data centers will be discounted in public opinion. Which is what OP asked about. Same reason AWS us-east-1 has a horrible reputation.

hetzner is not a datacenter, it is a closet with old hardware that for some reason is still powered on.

Lol, it’s insane that they offer cheap and somehow reliable cloud offerings though that whole companies rely on.
