Is this a question? I can't tell you if that's how you find my comment or not, sorry.
They wants a cheap tape device because they just want to use it in the home. Tape devices aren't cheap... because they aren't aimed at use just in the home.
They aren't aiming at home users - I think that's a simple fact not presuming anything.

The parent clarifies above that they are not a home user.
Even if you believed they were a home user, they clearly demonstrated in their original comment that they did know that it was for long-term, high volume storage, and they did know the cost, and you appeared still to belittle them for not knowing.
It's a question in the sense of - why did you choose to say it in this way, which seemed impolite? What did you intend your comment to add?
The parent is clearly seeking to confirm serious long-term use, as you say, in considering the costs of failure cases.
