It makes no sense financially, building, maintaining, running them is expensive. I liken it to my own experience. I sent about 20 boxes of books to be stored because I just could not get my self to get rid of them. I rented a place for $25 a month. It was ok since it would only be a few months. So, 5+ years later, and an increase to $45 per month, I finally decided that I was never going to read them so I threw some out and donated the rest. I never even read a single one in storage and If I really had wanted to I could have bought them multiple times with the money I spent in storage fees. Now imagine millions of items stored without really knowing if anyone will ever buy them. Companies are so opposed to using storage that they are willing to send brand new items to the dump and take a 100% loss rather than to store them.
