I keep hearing this battery argument but I have yet to see a single country backup its whole network with those.

You can't back up a whole country with batteries, or use it to flatten out the demand and supply peaks. Maybe with other storage, but I don't think it will work with batteries.
You would use batteries for example in a local small scale power plant, powering a small city district or a hospital or similar.
