Blockchain has neither a durability or availability SLA.

  An SLA just gives you the right to fee reductions or potential compensation for downtime. And not all SLAs are created equal. Meanwhile, for example, many blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, have 100% uptime. Not 99.99%...100%.

    "uptime" is such a weird concept when talking about decentralized networks as they are local-first and also build with many peers. And which "uptime" is being referred to here, read or write? If it's write, fees have definitely spiked at points to make it mostly useless for most people "using" it, but you can technically still write to it. And read is just always available as long as you have a copy of the data somewhere.

  I'm not sure that comparison makes much sense, it's like saying that HTTP has no SLA. AFAIU, Filecoin miners are free to offer SLAs for storage, and clients are free to enter into deals only with miners who offer such SLAs.
