We all know pulling the plug on a running PC is bad, bc the operating system could be in a critical process and interrupting it would corrupt the system.
But using a capacitor that holds electric charge couldnt we give the PC a couple of „grace seconds“ where the pc finishes its job and then starts the shutdown process?

This is literally what a PC controlled UPS system does. So, yes, we absolutely can. But, as others have pointed out: those things are big. They are also heavy and sort of expensive. And they only provide between 5 and 25 minutes of power, so…hopefully your PC can properly shut down in that amount of time (usually not an issue, but Murphy rules all)
