I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Paper would fall under that these days, wouldn’t it? You can’t just fit a word onto a punch card like the old days, and you’d need billions of the things go even start matching up to modern storage.

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.
Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Not to mention PaperBack, it’s essentially making a backup for life.
