IE: this tent would be good for 4-5..
As an example, Camping Guidance on YouTube did a very extreme weather test of TNF Wawona 6 which has a partial fly that gets a lot of criticism, but not only did the tent survive the rain and wind, but it was 100% dry inside even when the yard flooded and had the base submerged completely. So unless you're camping in extremely heavy rains that blow upward due to 50mph winds I don't think you have to worry. And since this is a massive car camping tent, you'd probably be carrying a tarp you can throw over in those 1-in-100,000 weather events.

A window that is closed with a zipper isn't going to be waterproof though, unless a waterproof zipper is used.
I've got a 10 person Coleman that not only funneled rain into it, but had a "bathtub" floor that kept every bit of it, causing a half inch of water to accumulate. Fortunately air mattresses keep you out of the tent-turned-pool.
I did buy the Ozark Trail 10 person insta-tent from the last FP deal, but it looks like it would flood for sure. There was a Moosejaw 8-person with full fly and vestibule that looked up to the task, but then it wasn't tall enough for us to stand up in.

The only thing I didnt really like about it was the fact that there is zero shot of getting it back in the bag it came in. Its just massive and it seems like an impossible task.
We had a windier day and it was solid. We all slept well. There was no rain so cant comment on the water proof abilitiy. But for under $100 Id invest the $$$.
It might have just been that to be comfortable in a tent, you need about half as many people as it's rated for. The ratings assume everyone is shoulder to shoulder.

i thought it was a typo.on that guyline. until i googled it.
Why are guy lines called guy lines?
The reason behind the name dates back to its first original use, which was attaching sails to a mast on ships. Dutch sailors called this a "gei", which is where the modern name comes from now. There are other names and terms which can be used interchangeably for guy wires, including: Strand wire.

I divide by 3. Need a 6 person for two people. Need a 4 person for 1.3 people.
