Yeah that is pretty bad I guess. For decades 99% has been achievable for many orgs. 92% phew.
But “waste” is arguable. If folks have literally nothing to do when GitHub is down, I question that a bit. For example, design, administrative work (everyone has that), lunch. You know?
Critical CI/CD can use Jenkins, but in that case folks might end up with 89% uptime!

It's not about a single person. I work at a company with over 10k employees, most of them rely on GitHub one way or another. It's not just about PRs and issues; there's a huge amount of automation, workflows, and integrations that depend on GitHub, round the clock. With this kind of uptime it has material impact on productivity of the company as a whole.
