In long term archival use cases this is less of an issue. Especially if it’s many exabytes we’re talking about, needing to be stored for decades.
But I 100% agree with your main point about possibility vs productionisation.
Yes it causes problems in this increasingly narrow situation.
Massive storage that takes a month to fully read is acceptable in a wide variety of use cases. If it's cheaper than hard drives it'll get a huge amount of users.
