Presumably they intended to entertain. There are absolutely companies running much more complex services with more users than Github but better uptime, so it's absolutely fair to call Github out on their failures. Github has at least an order of magnitude fewer users than something like Google or Facebook. If your attitude is reflective of the attitude of anyone at Github, calling people entitled who dare complain about the site's downtime rather than taking responsibility and working to better it, it's no surprise that Github has so much downtime.
