This demand is also dictated by what companies see as a default setup, now it's 0,5Tb+ SSDs as syst drives. W10\11 doesn't work on HDDs because their update and security services can overwhelm your disk's speed and make the system unresponsive. If you are given an older hardware by your employer, good luck, as your OS and other programs assume they don't need to limit either speed or size, and the only way to keep using the same features is to upgrade.
Exactly. Eventually what we see now as cutting edge will become "bare minimum" or even "obsolete" hardware one day. Eventually the camera on your cell phone will by default be taking such high resolution pictures that anything less that a TB of onboard storage will seem quaint.
