Does Time Machine Work?

Is any data available showing the percentage of mac computers keeping consistent hourly backups for more than a few weeks? My model indicates the number is less than 10%, but my model is likely to be off by +20%/-5%.

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12), Dual 6-core 3.3GHz Xeon 64GBRam

It's the output of a crude bash script that I wrote to extract Time Machine log entries.

The macOS version is the current one.
