Part of the challenge at times is doing something just because you can (or wonder if you can pull it off in the first place).

I guess it comes down to the chain of thinking. Not that one is right and the other is wrong, just different. IMO, and probably by most that would have the chops to complete that type of undertaking, it comes from a mindset with backups in mind as well as the data itself. If you are or get deep into these kinds of things, sooner or later, if not already, you will get bitten by the ever dreaded, "I didn't back up my data and now it is all gone" syndrome.
With there being a limitation of 100baseT, much over the 512GB limit woud take forever and a day or two to back up. And then with a further limitation of not being able to go over 1TB ever due to the base OS being used for Snap OS, it just kind of made it a wash for most of the guys I had talked to who could have done it. It would have been damn hard and time consuming and just didn't seem worth it is all. If it had been easy, it probably would have gotten done just for fun, but...
Again, not that one is right and the other wrong, just a different mindset by most of the people who probably could have done it is all.
