Yeah no. Performance, reliability, uptime are huge.

Uptime isn’t quality. Perf and reliability are easily faked with the right metrics. It’s trival to be considered working on PowerPoint without working well for the user.

Uptime is quality. It’s why uptime is in SLAs. A quality product isn’t down half the time.

Opinions like that are why software quality sucks. And why using software is so painful for most people. “I have to use a stroller to set my phone number on the UI.” “Sure, but uptime if 5 9’s, so it’s quality software”.
