I can understand needing this tech for court records and similar stuff. Even for libraries which desire to store everything in the world. But that's about it. I don't think many people go to old backups and see their old documents or code they wrote. Photos, sure, but even that is not a frequent thing.

Business have plenty of reason to use this. Backing up several terabytes in a proper 3-2-1 setup is expensive.

You clearly have never met a data hoarder before then. Some people just store things for the heck of it and if it happens to be relevant years down the line, they have you covered.
