The world has spoken and it prefers smaller, lighter, thinner to easier self repair because modern laptops almost never need to be repaired.  The only time I've ever had to repair any of our half dozen MacBooks was because of a swelling battery.  I just took it to the apple store, cost me $200 for a new battery, and the MacBook is still running great a decade after I bought it.

Is this sarcasm? $200 usd is more the current value of that laptop. If you could order the battery online it would cost you $50. But apple prevented 3rd party shops from selling their parts.

It wasn't just the recorders that had compatibility issues. Even the players couldn't read the later 100GB generation discs that came out. Some studios such as Disney never released discs beyond the 50GB thus ensuring compatibility on all their releases as they didn't want to deal with the headaches of releasing content on 100GB discs that families wouldn't up confused and upset that such and such player couldn't play disc.

For recording and backing up content, the discs were too expensive compared with hard drives, tape, and cloud, thus most enterprises, consumers, and businesses never adopted Blu-ray for data storage. 

Windows' entire security model is based on aggressive patching, so this is going to lead to a LOT of hacked machines.

Jupiter is a gas giant, which have clouds by definition.
