Well, at that point, why not LTO? Much better price-per-TB, despite initially comparatively expensive buy-in price for the drive/library.

If you're not an enterprise user, LTO makes no financial sense whatsoever. In addition, it just isn't very convenient; it's not a random-access media. With a HDD, you can just plug it in, use rsync to update only things that have changed, unplug it, and set it on a shelf. The use case is entirely different.
