Maybe for you, but not for folks who hardly can afford a low end
machine. Not having a computer is no longer an alternative these days

cheaper than disks killed by power-cycles and my
current homeserver eats around 50-60 watt at
normal operations - you can run this machine
some years before costs for electricity beats
costs for a single disk dying due power cycles
You are quite obviously not clear over that most of the people using
computers do not know at all what a power cycle is..
