The closest Ethereum's had to downtime is some large gas spikes, but that's:
1. unavoidable in a permissionless protocol
2. still way better than even 10m of hard downtime, let alone 4h+
3. mitigated by upcoming L1 scaling

Users treat exuberant fees as a defacto liveness failure. To those users Ethereum was down for all of 2021.  Ethereum fees were so bad that 99.5% reliability but guaranteed low cost was better, and thats how solana managed to get pmf.

As a user, the difference between my Uber app not working at all and the Uber ride being painfully expensive is extremely relevant (especially in an emergency).

That’s great!  That’s why reliability is also a focus.  Solana had 100% uptime for over a year. Market share is path dependent.  The users paying solana, aka the riders, cared more about low fees and isolated hotspots. Listening to those users is why solana was able to grow and hit pmf.

I think it'd be fair to say that different users care about different things. 

That's why many Ethereum users haven't switched to Solana, and many Solana users haven't switched to Ethereum
