True, but being very easy to make would hopefully keep costs down, allowing you to have multiple plates.

Also, this may not be for home use but companies that need to store data for years.

I could see applications for home use. Media backup comes to mind.

That's roughly 1,500 years of descendants. Well past even Futurama's time!
