I imagine because this NAND has more layers, its going to be have even less endurance than and write speeds than QLC? It may eventually be cheap but, whew boy whats the use case if the loss in performance as layers increase scales linearly?

I guess overprovisioning? Maybe your 16TB 7LC NAND will have 48TB of actual space.
Back in the day there were programs that would store data on VHS types with 200% overprovisioning.
Use it like tape, write once and archive it in a freezer.
