I imagine a vanishingly small percentage of the user base is still a very large number of people, that as an absolute number, would make up a significant percentage of the users of any other product.

I can see this being too hard to explain compared to “reboots after 72 hours.”

That would be a good solution! A concept that merges predictive behavior with user convenience
