You would suggest treating the Ethernet and POTS ports the same for power backup purposes until the ethernet port drops its carrier for 60 seconds or so? Maybe do the same for the POTs ports wrt detecting whether any phones are attached? Nah, that would make far too much sense; there must be something fatally wrong with the idea.
Detecting whether an idle phone is attached to a POTS port isn't exactly trivial. This is more true now with modern phones that don't have mechanical ringers.
Keeping the ethernet port up on battery if there is link makes sense. For that matter a "Wake-on-LAN" style polling to power it for a second every 30 to detect carrier would be even better.
