It is. Comparable systems can and do have errors. You can attach a bunch of nines as an SLA there and Solana would do pretty well in the last months. Especially because it’s only competition in the scalable blockchain space is itself.

ok.

Uptime isn't the issue, security is. If a centralized group of developers can push out a patch and validators will pull it without the time to properly validate it, thus restarting the entire chain, that's a major security problem.

Oh give me a break. There are literally hundreds of cryptos in the scalable blockchain space, and Solana isn't close to being the fastest, most scalable, or most stable. You've drunk too much Kool-aid.
