There’s a few things going on. At first blush, I agree with you. The vast majority of that stuff doesn’t need to be captured.

But if you don’t capture everything, how do you know you got the stuff that will be important or wanted in the future?

Also, historians are going to find that data to be an absolute gold mine. Unfortunately, a lot of it is in the form of video now and takes a ton of storage space.

I think, in the end, most people are not willing to pay the price to archive everything. But some are, and they’re doing it.
