We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

15+ years of SSD technology and every optimistic fool has been proven wrong about "HDDs becoming obsolete".
Your analogies are worthless, because you're referencing changes in technology that happened over a span of a few years only. You can't compare it to the SSD situation where it's been 15+ years and still no sight of this technology surpassing old technology.
Remind me just about when the last supported Windows 10 version goes out of support. If you look outside our echo chamber already spinning rust is niche technology.
