While i don't favor a mag capacity limit i don't think it valid to compare the needs of a home defender with those of a cop, SWAT member, and especially not a soldier.
They carry that many because they seek out and pursue criminals or enemies. The rest of us don't. The only exception i can think of is those acting as security in places prone to attempted robbery by multiple sophisticated criminals, such as jewelry stores or banks. Long protracted gun fights against home intruders just don't happen as bad guys generally don't want to get shot but do want to get away rather than waste time waiting for the police to arrive.
