Didn't there used to be a huge amount of plane hijackings in the 60s? That doesn't seem good for the reliability If you look at AWS and the like, or services that tout "5 9s", you could make similar arguments. But reliability is itself a feature of a system. If airplane crashes were more frequent, less people would rely on it (if you think it's hysterical now...). Public Transit and package delivery are other things where reliability is super important. Not just public perception, but in a real way. If you have to change trains twice, you can't have both be late right? Also, death isn't just "subtract the man-hours from this person's society"....
