I like to compare this to SSD vs HDD. Why even invest in HDD development when SSDs are so much better?

Right now almost all consumers use SSDs because they are affordable for space most people need.

And I remember how we were transitioning where I bought 128gb drive for cost of 4TB HDD to have super snappy system and I had to manage system much more to not burn writes too quickly (ram drives for logs and temp etc)

That where I believe we are right now with EVs. But they are more affordable and have better range every year.

But to go further with this comparison we still develop new generations of HDDs even after all that time, even when everyone believe that at some point in the future we will abandon that technology completely
