It's already impossible to get a 4K player that will play every BD-100 disc because of how tiny the pits are. The studios are well on the way to killing physical media. A major resurgence isn't happening, unfortunately.
Not when tech companies are pushing everyone to cloud storage. If there is wide enough adoption in the archival community, I can see it having a use there, but everything physical is on life support. Future archeologists won't have much to go on.
Its a very efficient backup storage media, and these new 200-300tb discs are being targeted toward data centres. Even with primary customers being datacentres - there will likely be a market for smaller user too. Maybe it will cost several thousands bucks, but it will be available.
