No.

Inactivity leak is an emergency measure to restore liveness when the network stops finalizing blocks. It happens when >33% of validators are offline(WW3 scenario), major bug in widespread implementation, etc.

Your link explains that.

ETH2 is friendly to home stackers - you may lose some profit by being offline sometimes, and in the worst case minor penalties are applied.

EDIT: If you are interested in a much better description of what happens if you are offline, see this:

Some points from the link:

- penalties =/= slashing

- If you are online > 42.5% of the sime - you are earning profits
