It's very likely their switching time between wall power and battery isn't quick enough to keep a computer on. With ATX you need to switch power in no longer than 16ms else the computer will shut off.

Ecoflow switching time is listed at “<30ms” and the new Anker power stations are listed at “<20ms” so not the speed you’re looking for. APC’s tend to be listed at less than 12ms.
