Why are stiffy drives not enough and what are the use cases of CD-Roms?

Bandwidth and latency.

In my world view of computing there are the two atomic elements of data and computation. In general people don't care much about computation as its hidden behind many layers. Mostly people care about data. Getting it quickly and getting a lot of it.
