IF you want to take it in isolation, and assume that no-one uses GPFS, then yeah? The general gist is that unless you've worked in a place that has setup a "proper" network, that is roaming home directories, mapped posix storage, kerberised user account, and some sort of multi-machine graph based job dispatch system (ie airflow, grid engine, large scale k8s with a batch plugin, aws's batch pixar's tractor), then you will have not seen a need for a large clustered filesystem with a posix-like interface. moreover, given the "filesystems are hard and bad, use object storage instead" noise that we've had since we joined the cloud era, why would you _try_ to use a clustered filesystem? Especially as most of the "free" ones are shite.
