Those new command sets that require a re-write of your entire software storage stack exist solely to satisfy the hyperscalers for whom re-writing the entire software storage stack can be a worthwhile optimization effort. If you don't command enough purchasing power to already be getting custom SKUs from your drive vendors, they don't have enough incentive to add those features to the models they offer you.

I imagine it could be cool for some DB vendors too, so they can optimize base on direct access and skip all OS/FS overhead.
