I doubt that. Putting batteries into appliances sounds extremely awkward.

Apparently it has already happened https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/03/2... TL/DR: batteries are cheaper than paying an electrical to upgrade a 120 line to 240.

That's a very different motivation, though. Any other reason lets you centralize your backup power. And even then, "no major manufacturers".
Within a handful of years, major home electricity-consuming appliances will come with built-in batteries used for both backup purposes but also for shifting load to the cleanest/cheapest electricity available. By this time commercial/industrial will have already transitioned to this.
