Non-Tesla fast charging stations also tend to be broken a lot, and are installed in small numbers, often single units. It's tough to plan a trip where you need a charge at a particular location when you could be screwed if a single spot is occupied or out of order. Most Tesla locations are 6 spots or more, and they're much better about fixing them when they break.

Yup, and the just added real-time status on the nav map so you can see how many slots are available and re-route if needed.
Have you made use of that feature yet? I've poked at it on the nav system, but haven't had to use any Superchargers since it came out.
