Not really, they're just lying. I mean yes of course they aren't oracles who discover complex problems in instant of the first failure, but naw they know when well there are problems and significantly underreport them to the extent they are are less "smoke alarms" and more "your house has burned down and the ashes are still smoldering" alarms. Incidents are intentionally underreported. It's bad enough that there ought to be legislation and civil penalties for the large providers who fail to report known issues promptly.
