  In terms of reliability, "enterprise-grade" tends to mean "applied high-availability best practices from the 1990s" and those practices aren't nearly as effective as people thought they were.

As long as everybody was following the same practices you could pretend that it's not possible to do better, but later Google and others showed that it is in fact possible to achieve much higher availability using different practices.
