Makes sense to me. Why do empty trash bags exist? Nobody wants an empty trash bag, so everyone fills them up all the time. Why not sell them pre-filled? It just doesn’t make sense.
I had to run experiments that generate a lot of data (think hundreds of megabytes per minute). Our laptops had very little internal storage. I wasn’t allowed to use an external drive, or my own NAS, or the company share - instead they said “can’t you just delete the older experiments?”… Sure, why would I need the experiment data I’m generating? Might as well /dev/null it!
