If you read the article you would see:
A summary showing the ten providers whose sites experienced the fewest failed requests and the fasest connection times during June
So this one is about performance, not uptime.
So the fact that Freebsd tops out on performance *and* uptimes is pretty amazing. What I will give you that you are correct about, is the performance is highly dependent on the hardware and the skill of the techs. Uptime is not everything for sure.
"There's no magic bullet for uptime." Well if it *is* uptime you're looking for, the closest to a magic bullet you can get is FreeBSD or BSD/OS. 5 years is a damn long time.
essentially the top 50 uptimes ever, is fully dominated by BSD
