is gatekeeping what users MIGHT do, and/or deciding based on corner cases helpful to this discussion?
(this isn't meant as a note directly to dorn, just a convenient place to interject)

Aside from planning based on a formula like Jason Livingood's plan... OR based on build/deploy/upgrade costs into pricing.
most of the rest of the conversation here sounds like gatekeeping:
"Well, who needs that anyway?"

or:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum - in the form of: "Well who can even use 8k anyway?" or similar.

Agreed, even with a 16TB drive, that's only 16000*8 ~= 128000 seconds of 1-gigabit download rate (under 36 hours) :)

I don't buy that - users are still constrained on storage, especially on
consoles.
