Because I believe for home use optical disc in a cartridge is easier.
*I might be wrong, but I remember LTO tape must be stored at certain RH and condition.
And they last for 30 years, maybe
And VHS tapes. Ade the idea of a tape around a spool feeels like it is not as robust as a disc.
Having said that, iffff consumer version of lto tape drives was out there it would be as cool.
But I still feel discs are more safer.
You see, I could salvage archival optical disc if I got flooded or if they went through extreme temperature.





I think NAS is great for techies but optica disc storage is better option for family memories and stuff.
A NAS need maintenance and can get expensive.
LTO tape take a lot of care, I just read about it again.
It needs proper storage and maintenace and even then it last for 30 years.
Optical media last 50+ years and storage conditions is just normal home climate. I think for childhood memories, important documents, wedding videos is a perfect medium.
