Default Why aren't backpack vacuums more popular in the home?

I don't dislike vacuuming, what I dislike is the hassle of moving the
canister around my narrow row house and having to hold it for the stairs or
to vacuum high things. I'm fit with no back problems. I have no carpeting.
So a backpack unit makes sense. But they are sold for commercial
applications. What is so different?

Many are available:

And no way to easily compare them. I'm leaning to the first one listed, the
most popular, and shortening the 50' cord to something more reasonable for
a 20' x 48' house with plenty of outlets.

I have a whole house vacuum so I only have to drag the hose and wand around.
