You fail to address the issue. You continue to obfuscate. Everyone knows what the specs are on a UPS. And no-one would put up a server where you have anything other than 2-5 sec. occasional (like once or twice a year) outages, but you make it sound like it is common place for the vast majority. What's your motivation for doing that? I can only say to obfuscate, to beat around the bush, to avoid addressing the main issue, which, in this case would be justifying your boogeyman issues for not putting up a home based node.
Your example of the completely unrelated hard fork "emergency" is more of the same. What next shall we talk about that has nothing to do with your original, oh so empowering claim?
Hardware isn’t as much of a concern as Internet reliability is far more important. Home Internet is not adequate to provide a reliable witness or full node.
