Eh. Remember that a lot of these guys think about hardware implementations, so they're fixated on ASICs, not GPUs.

At some point the inequality gets too far out of whack and it's time to reconsider your values. Same reason we keep switching back and forth between dominant network architectures every 8 years. Local storage gets too fast or too slow relative to network overhead and everyone wants to move the data. Then we catch up and they move it back.
