Seagate and WD sales of HDs keeps dropping (because of SSDs, etc.). Manufacturing lower capacity HD drives won't be worth it.
Yes, there's inflation, but I don't see inflation as an issue for computer electronics. I think it's going the other way as consumers will want to spend less and get more. The big push for WFH electronics has gone through. Now plants are at full capacity and eager to bring in revenues fast. Small stick streaming devices are plentiful and given away for almost free. There will be less demand for consumer high storage needs for most, though some will go the other way.
Attached chart of anticipated capacity shipments going forward.
They are 5400rpm but I still see upwards of 200MB/s read/write.
I believe that they added the easystore line to the exclusions earlier this year.
Correct for today - this should be for everyone starting tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm not wrong but apologies if I am. Worst case scenario everyone just starts downvoting it

Imho, the primary advantage to having 10gbe between your NAS and the rest of the network is that a single user on 1gbe can't bottle neck the whole system.

You also have to factor in what type of raid array your using and what kind of transfer rates your HBA/Backplane on the NAS is capable of. All my wired devices are on a 10gbe switch with my 16 bay server having a 40gbe uplink running 16 drives in raid 61. At this point the limiting factor is the spinning rust in all those devices but I have no need for anything faster as the server is more for data hoarding and media streaming and not doing any "real" work besides the VMs running on it.

What's inside the 14 TB Easystore: WD140EDGZ.
I precleared two of them, no issues. I swapped out my 8TB parity drive with one, no issues. I swapped out a 5 TB data drive with one, no issues. Now I need to swap out another 5 TB with the old 8 TB parity. My server has been down for several days and I'm not crying, you're crying.

Membership is the price of the hard drive, which is not worth it and doesn't make it a deal.
