Speaking of the army, it's not clear that the extremely narrow feature set of Oxide justifies the engineering effort required.

The storage market used to be dominated by Oxide-style vertical integration and bespoke engineering and almost every vendor has transitioned to modularity over the last 20 years. Pure Storage seems to be doing OK with custom hardware though, so maybe the rest of the industry just has a lack of courage.
