You don't have to live in a war zone to have a power supply fail.  You
don't have to live in a hurricane zone to have a thunderstorm knock out
power. 

We live in a city.  Just 2 weeks ago a building 50 meters away from our
had a fire.  While putting out the fire the fire department determined
it safer for them to cut power to the area.  They did so without warning

The problem is that many people take their electric power for granted. 
Much like you, they think they will never lose power so they don't

Apparently you don't have cats and/or children.  I have cats....this
*has* happened to me:

I won't use btrfs until it has the tools to support recovery and a
proven track record.  At this time I don't see the need to take the risk.
