Alas, our experience differs by a wide margin too. You seem to be a
bit of a hobbyist. When you've serviced thousands of 'modern'
machines, get back to me.
Even though my own machines are ancient, the ones I work on for friends
are typically new.
Some of the people I deal with are gamers and have to have the latest
and greatest.
I've looked at some of those games, and other than visual effects,
graphics and sound, seem to be little different from those old DOS
games. LOL
Until Win10 came out, most of my more recent jobs were on Win8 machines
and confused owners. Once I put on Classic Shell, the folks stopped
crying. (One woman literally came over in tears because she could not
use her new computer.)
I have probably repaired more machines that you have...I don't know...
but I literally have repaired or built thousands of machines.
I've been doing this for about 17 years and at one time had two or three
machines on the the bench at a time.
FWIW: Thanks to getting surplus equipment from work, I have all on one
of several UPS...industrial grade.
Here are the batteries from my main UPS

More than 24 hours of backup.
BTW, as long as I have my Dropbox folder open, here is HALF the battery
room from one of my customers

BD: I saw your question of Drop Box, those are forklift batteries and
there is a battery extractor machine for removing them from the trucks
and putting them on the racks and visa-versa.
The ones you see are not the largest there are.
Some batteries weigh as much as 4000# and require an overhead crane to
handle them
I have never seen anything like them.
Thanks for sharing, Philo.
