it seems to be entirely down to insufficient redundancy in their
systems, and any decision to dispense with (whatever is) industry
standard redundancy is going to have come from someone much higher up

There isn't any as such. BA will have signed an uptime contract, the
cost of which will depend on the level of uptime desired. If that is
breached, BA will be entitled to compensation.

You can sign a no-downtime contract, but it is hugely expensive.
Aircraft on-board systems are designed in that manner.
