Arguably one of the main differences between defence and consumer tech is dealing with the 'oh come on how often...'

You don't want to be caught needing your X or calling off operation Y because conditions are unfavourable.

It's kind of Pareto principle I suppose - they'll pay (say) 80% for that last rarer 20% of operational feasibility. (Likely more like 95-5, but I mention 80-20 as it's basically an 'aka' for Pareto.)
