I find it very odd that there is so much faith in "innovation" (and probably "economies of scale").

there is no sign of any impending breakthroughs that would change flash economics much.

slc-mlc-tlc-qlc was very nice but plc will not happen. layer-based flash was also nice but it is ultimately linear (more layers, more cost, lower yield). dimensional shrinks are already stalled because of a tragic electron shortage (per cell).

I guess there's no harm in pining for some other NVRAM technology (spins, etc).

I'm still pining for Optane to make a comeback.

Didn't help that they used "Optane" for two very different products. I agree on the good one though !
