I have to ask, what value is this adding business-wise to store so much?

  Not OP but I think it isn't always about storing, but having a log of events which get routed, processed, and aggregated in many cases.

  Kafka when used correctly is the like the nervous system for your entire company. You use it like a message bus and dump every single thing into it, and you can extract it out at your leisure, but mostly real-time. It completely transforms how you do services in a company, but it also means you have to invest a lot of money and manpower into maintaining it because it is mission critical.
