My hunch is that companies who are making such fantastic stuff are making
it for specific markets and specific parties and those parties don't want
the rest of the planet to know where they "got such wonderful toys" to
quote The Penguin.

How many of you have worked with/seen/used/abused the optical disk
jukebokes used for backups? You know, the ones which hold 20,000
Write-Once laserdisk-sized platters and are guaranteed in-perpetuity
and allow for life-time warm backups for a company or clandestine
government agency. The platters cost $1,000 a piece, too.
