"Is it supposed to protect your data from somebody pouring coffee into the host's disk array too?"

Yes, for your sake, it better. I will pour my coffee into your database's disk array AGAIN if you keep leaving it in my bedroom, all 16 loud fans blowing full speed, ringere. I don't care how many nines you've promised, or how much fault tolerance you claim, or how "important" your data is. Hot chocolate, too, if you do it in the winter. So, step off or get burned. Make sure your transactions are atomic, check your backups, and get this monster OUT of here!

Worst roommate EVER, you are.

P.S. I agree with you. ;)
