This is a cool concept and all for very large portable storage... But for media I think self-hosted streaming would be much more effective, or locally playing it on a desktop for whatever future media that can't be streamed well. Can't see a use for portable storage this big yet... But as soon as it fits in a smartphone-sized personal device we've got something that can support future media types with unfathomably large data requirements (portable "full-dive" vr like the matrix, AR, retina-resolution visuals etc).
I would personally be thrilled to use this for backups. I only have ~20tb of data on my NAS currently. A couple of these discs every month or two would work out well for me.
"Only"
There are datahoarders with way more storage space than me. My NAS is set up with 4 16tb drives in what is basically raid 10.
