The implication is that it can theoretically hold a value for 10^14s (~3 million years).

Yes, but most memory workloads don't store the same value for 15+ minutes at a time. And if you're using it as long-term storage (so basically a flash alternative) that 15-minute retention time is awfully low.
Decades of research into optimizing DRAM refresh efficiency suggests that you don’t understand how the world is using DRAM.
