MDisc is not king. Their DVDs were outperformed by competitors in a test done by the French National Archives [0].
Further, DVDs are effectively obsolete these days and MDisc's Blu-Rays have no scientific studies backing their claims to longevity compared to competitors like the DVDs did. One of their largest advantages relative to DVDs is completely gone in Blu-Rays as well: The inorganic dyes and recording layer (these are now standard for essentially all BD-Rs).
