A home setup might be able to rival or beat an “edge” enterprise network closet.
It’s not going to even remotely rival a tier 3/4 data center in any way.
The physical security, infrastructure, and connectivity will never come close. E.g. nobody is doing full 2N electrical and environmental in their homelab. And they certainly aren’t building attack resistant perimeter fences and gates around their homes, unless they’re home labbing on a compound in a war torn country.

Why would you need all of that if what they have works? Nobody is going to raid a repo of open source software, you can just download everything for free.
That's not the point. The point is that a "home" setup can basically replicate or exceed a "professional" setup when done right.
