Yeah, why do the same job with 30 megabytes when 4 terabytes will do the same thing?

I hear you, and I used to think the same way.

But, time moves on, and IT, like everything else, has created new ways of doing things. BTW, the 4 terabytes of today cost less than the 30 megabytes of 15 years ago. Storage and even main memory, are less expensive nowadays, and with that, software development and applications and file storage are cheaper and "easier" to manage, even if things look a bit more complicated. Linux is the 15-years-ago way of doing things.
