Why do you think this is about cost? The article says ”I've not had any network attached storage at home, because it's offgrid”, so I think it’s about preventing the house from powering down.

I can't find a concise page to link, but he has a house that's off-the-grid, using solar panels and batteries. So he pays attention to power consumption.
