Which would also penalise those use cases where a few hours of downtime is not a problem. Not everything needs 24x7 uptime, there are plenty of cases where a 6 hour outage us not a problem but 24hours would be.

No cloud providers say you get DR without some work at the client end; equally non-critical use cases shouldn't be blocked.
