Apart from archiving huuuuuge amounts of data, does it make sense for any business to invest in those when you add up in the qualified work time it necessitates for the halved priced it provides. Plus the constant reinvestment in hardware. Plus the fact that to get the data you actually need a human to fetch for you and operate a machine.
