Id guess its because large oceanic shipping ships have incredibly fuel efficient engines and batteries cant compete since they're recharged with thermal plants of similar efficiency.

Or are the running on SOFCs?
The probability of at least a single failure is 1-(1-r)^70.
This is quite high even w/out considering the higher quality of the one supply.
The probability of all 70 going down is
r^70 which is absurdly low.
Let's say r = 0.05 or one failed supply every 20 in a year.
1-(1-r)^70 = 97% r^70 < 1E-91
The high quality supply has r = 0.0005, in between no failure and all failing. If you code can handle node failure, very many, cheaper supplies appears to be more robust.
(Assuming uncorrelated events. YMMV)
Israel basically uses them to manipulate DC, whilst its allies in media ensure that Christians getting spat at in Jerusalem isn't widely reported.
