I guess a UPS powerbackup would be useful. Laptops basically have built-in UPS which is perhaps why Apple has gone in that direction. I wonder if their high-end desktops with Apple Silicon will do something different there.
An UPS won't help though unless you program your Mac to check the UPS status and flush accordingly.
I'm not entirely sure how a UPS works with a computer, nor exactly how this flushing works, but doesn't a UPS run for awhile in the event of a power disruption, certainly more than the several seconds delay with this flushing?
That’s been built in to macOS since the 2000s - there’s a standard USB protocol which most UPS vendors support.
