my four-core VPS running a Git server has higher uptime than GitHub at this point

(although admittedly less load and redundancy)

Does redundancy even matter if the end result is still poorer uptime?

Exactly! Also operating "at scale" is only impressive if you can do it with comparable speed and uptime, it doesn't mean much if every page takes seconds to load and it falls over multiple times a day lol
