As someone who lives in a third world country that happens to have frequent power outages, I can say that it sucks.

A thunderstorm once started when I did a bios update. I was in fear until it ended

Updated bios two times in my life. Both times I stared at the progress bar without blinking praying that the power doesn’t go out.

Keep a flash programmer and a spare laptop. Casually having 6 backup BIOS chip for my problematic mobo.

I never saw a need too.
I did for the first tike just last month in hopes of fixing a dying mobo. It did nothing but make the mouse work better in the bios.

I have a bios flashback button and a stick with my current bios. Even had to learn how to use it, because Z690 chip is not compatible with 13th gen out of the box. Corrupted drive is way more scary for me because of all the time I would have to waste to set up everything again.

Yeah, I had a mini ITX PC that sometimes lost power without seemingly having any reason for it
I decided to try to update the bios, well, I managed to pull the short stick there 🥲
