It's not really about storage amount or convenience if the data is lost. That's no different than not surviving a fire.
The "it took longer than 2h to retrieve the voice recorder" seems one of the dangers then. And at least just as likely as many others, e.g. it's easy to imagine this happening together with "being stuck in a remote place".

In cases like this and the plane is fine, the pilots need to pull the breakers. Recorders have been found months after accidents and still retain all data.
