Servers still fail, regardless of how much redundancy you build in.

Especially in a home, where kids spill a gallon of fruit juice and don’t think to tell anyone until 2 days later, pets knock things off tables, fires happen, power outages happen, theft happens, and so on.

There still needs to be a plan for when the server is gone. So, buy two home servers and run them in different locations? Back to cloud? Or what’s the plan?

I'm not sure what your argument is. Yes? Is not the standard suggestion 3 copies and one off site? And consider that the post is about low egress storage. And what, you're going to tell me that business people don't want to sell more things?
