Not shocking? There's probably zero ROI on bothering to invest in R&D for consumer gear.
You can't sell enough premium drives to offset the fact they're down to commodity pricing now: the market for a $45 1tb SSD is much larger than a $100 one, and frankly, I wouldn't be on the premium side of that business either.
High-spec big and expensive enterprise drives are 100% the way to go.
Same thing already has happened with GPUs and CPUs, so storage being next is not surprising.
