Only a single broker needs to be online for data to be available. In your example partition 2 and 3 had copies of data on broker 0 and 1. When those two brokers went down your data was unavailable. To withstand two brokers going offline you would want to change your replication factor to 3.
One thing to keep in mind…. the replication factor is the TOTAL number of copies NOT how many follows you have, in other words the replication factor includes the leader AND the followers.
