It sounds like this is a responsibility which should be moved to the US federal goverment since UPSs create jobs.
In the last 28 years of doing this stuff, I've found a few times that the UPS has actually worked and lasted as long as the outage.
I have seen UPSs help quite a lot for short glitches lasting seconds, or a minute. Otherwise the outage is usually longer than the UPSs can stay up since the problem required human attention.
