Home networks don't usually have the problem of having to suddenly merge together with another, similarly-addressed network.

Nothing stops you getting a subnet allocated from your local RIR and announcing that on the internet, if you care about that sort of thing for your home network though. You just need a decent ISP.

I’ll just leave that there.

No, I can’t just choose to have a decent ISP. I live in the real world where there’s only one choice where I live, same as a rather large majority of people in the world.
