What is the reason ? I would be more convenient to use bigger disks. Today
they all use 18 TB SSD (except me).
 

For me, the burn time would be too long since use speed=2x.

Also, it is difficult to gather 100G of material of the same
subject.  I like to have one disk per subject.

I also use M-Disc because it will outlive me (I am 24 years old):

I have never used. I thought they are expensive.

They are actually quite cheap -- if one can find a supplier.

Making regular backups, especially with optical disks, is a PITA
an thus it is expected that most people will reject the idea.

But it is an essential part of computing.  I backup to USB HDD
about once per week and then to optical disk about once a year
(unless there are major changes, then more).
