You are arguing against yourself here. Having the mean and 95th/99th percentile is going to give you a better picture of the distribution than mean alone. Mean alone actually doesn’t give you ANY idea of the distribution. I don’t know why OP is being downvoted, managing to 95th percentile is very common practice and I also thought was a missing addition to the article.
