This is more akin to when Sony decided to stop making floppy disks. The market is there for now, but it’s just not worth it from a financial perspective.

Ironically Japan is just now phasing out floppies, so there'll still be a market for a while.

A NAS is mostly geared for online media storage, whereas disks are for offline.

That's just the government though, similar to how a lot of the systems in the US still run on COBOL (including the IRS).
