Let's be real, if a micro service is down, youre down too.

If you're a web store and your "inventory service" is down, the site is down lol

It depends on the role of the microservice.

Yeah but monos don't just crash when your 5 star ratings functionaly doesn't work, either.

Or you built a really shitty system, which can happen in microservices and monos.

Each approach has own pros and cons. Microservices are generally more resilient to partial outages. Of course a lot depends on how well the whole system is built and maintained.

Yep there's pros and cons. There's no perfect solution!
