And here I am dreaming of a world where companies do real deletions of data when a user requests (and also deleting older transactional data that has outlived its utility, including regulatory requirements) and storage prices being lower with a slightly smaller (steady) market for it from the major companies. On the other hand, storage prices seem to be low enough for all these companies with bulk, long term contracts that developers wouldn’t bother doing real deletes of data.

I suspect that big companies in the market help justify manufacturer R&D into larger and faster and helps justify production capacity. I think we'd have smaller, slower, and slightly more expensive drives without their demand. But, speculation only.
