Vinyls warp and scratch. Film degrades and becomes foggy. Books are damaged by too much moisture or not enough moisture. Most clay tablets have been smoothed by erosion. Optical disk rot is an overstated problem. Every medium has longevity issues. I often deal with 25 year old CDs and old DVDs and they are fine if they were stored properly.
