I guess it’s important for all networks to be high availability. The video doesn’t say more than that it’s very important for the global financial system. Incentivisation enables blockchain networks to have such high availability. If miners stop mining for whatever reason, others are incentivised to take their place. Mining is how people make money protecting the network. The more miners, the more security.
