An extension cord with 2 male ends is useful for powering your home with a generator.

Yeah, if you want to electrocute some poor linesman outside.
If you have considered purchasing a generator for emergencies, get the transfer switch installed and be prepared so when you do it, you do it safely.

I’m hardly an electrician and even I know to have some sort of a cutoff switch that can isolate the home if I want to power it separately.

Obviously you shut off the main breaker so as not to backfeed. Didn't think anyone would be pedantic enough to make me say it. I wasn't writing out a tutorial.

Point being, there exists a purpose for the allegedly purposeless thing.
