Thus answering the challenge: they're not storage. They're grid stabilization utilities. Because no one expects to run them for more then 30 minutes to an hour while they bring dispatchable generation online.
Which means they're irrelevant to the idea of grid scale energy storage, because they don't meaningfully store anything.
