    Why wouldn’t it be? Do you believe nobody stores data at home that they would want to have for longer than 5-10 years?

      The average person tends to want something that can be rewritten.

        Photos, recordings, bank statements, pay slips, etc. all don’t change and would probably want to be kept for years. The average person probably has them all on some cloud service or on multiple devices (laptops, phones, PCs). Having just one drive to store all of that on that you can be sure doesn’t degrade until well past your natural life isn’t that farfetched.
