there is none, for that kind of dosh you could get a backup generator and an automatic turn on in case of a power outage, and after that any cheap ass battery back up will be enough to get you through the switchover

My best guess is that they don't know any better.
For 17k, you could make your own solar powered battery bank out of lifepo batteries, and have enough power to power anything you need.

When your infrastructure costs at least 10x that is is cheap insurance. There's a difference between pulling the cord on your gayman PC vs unexpected shutdown of a database server, corrupting the database which of course was not backed up often enough, and now you lost a week of work for the company.
Now for Linus and co it seems way overkill, but they probably got sponsored or help in some other way. Or they are just that stupid.
