Yes, it shows that. But what's the point of showing it? It insinuates is that there is a problem here. There isn't. Real systems have 99%+ uptime, or they aren't deployed. With the software that we actually use, we're to the far left of that graph, not anywhere near the right.

> You overlook the failures. Each big or small failure count in that graph.

Eh, not really. It's not statistics based on real data, it's a hypothesis. No real-world failure shows up in it. Again, there are a hundreds if not thousands of processes running on your average Linux box, but failure rates are astonishingly low. Yet, Linux is the total opposite of "the right thing".

I don't see you arguing with that, because you can't argue with it. It's the facts! Not doing "the right thing" works. Doing "the right thing" generally doesn't, because that software never ships on time. All the beautiful operating systems dreamed up inside of ivory towers never took the market. It's not because of "marketing" or "conditioning", but because that software is not actually better for the end user. It lacks features, it's more expensive, it's late. It then doesn't matter if it's simple.
