paul - I agree that in today's world, single box performance is important for many users, especially those looking for headroom on an older, non-partitionable app.

But the rest of your argument is way off base. None of the other benchmark systems have any redundancy either. On any of the single system configurations, if you lose a disk - crash the database. Lose a processor - maybe crash the database. In that sense, the partitioned systems, as configured for TPC, actually have better fault tolerance than the single systems. But none of them are fault tolerant - that costs more, and is not a part of the benchmark for any class of system.
