I understand your sentiment but your examples still sound like a lot of energy.

If every home ran a server rack for two days a month, or produced 30kg of aluminum, that would obviously add up extremely quickly.

Yes, it's a lot of energy, and it shocked me first, because I never lived in a home that big before. It also costs the money most people consider worth saving. But it still fascinates me how relatively small this amount of energy compared to any type of industrial usage. Also, I need it only 2 months in a year.
