Why do you anticipate progress with flash storage but not with optical storage? Because optical storage as a technology (R&D) has died, with optical drives starting to be removed from laptops and soon-ish desktop PCs in favor of flash, and mainly internet downloads/uploads. Bluerays are a dead end -- movie distribution will be (is) on the cloud. Ditto for music. Ditto for data. Even HDs are on the way out, to be replaced by SSDs in the coming 5-7 years.
