fortunately, this change does not affect Bluray movies you can buy at the store. This is only about recordable Bluray drives, which basically no one uses on a consumer level.

I'm pretty sure some people use them for backups.

I'm sure they do, but I feel like even on r/datahoarders, I only ever see people talk about masses of HDDs, tape drives, or cloud storage.

8Tb optical disks don’t exist. Much cheaper to just do spinning-rust or cloud.
