How has every other major MMO solved the problem of downtime other than FF14?

They haven't, I've been playing WoW since DF, EVERY major patch has led to days worth of downtime, even the minor patches cause multiple outages. They will say 8 or 10 hours of downtime, but experience so many issues they are forced to take servers down repeatedly for multiple days in a row. I would much rather FF be down a day and patched right than deal with repeated bugs for days on end.

Its obvious OP doesnt play any other MMO besides FFXIV so they just make these half-baked assumptions of other games in order to make their point.
