That is the same, but Sony has discontinued development of ODS/ODA. What you are seeing is the supply left in channel.

Behind the scenes, Sony is still supporting commercial customers while they wait out Folio. If Folio can ship a 1TB BD rival in 2028, Sony may resume ODS to prevent FDs from replacing BD for consumers.

I used to burn everything to BD-Rs back in the day. These still have their niche, but with how cheap HDDs and cloud storage are now, I'd only grab them for nostalgia

Haven't burned a disk in years, came here to see who still had a use case.

As for the reason capacity hasn't grown: you have a huge issue with positioner accuracy. A hard disk uses the same hardware to position the head every time, any discrepancies will be consistent. Any sort of removable storage system has to somehow ensure that it's head or equivalent is in exactly the same position when put in another drive. And you have to ensure the media is in exactly the same place, or in some fashion compensate for it being ever so slightly out of position.

These factors add up to removable media never having density anywhere near what fixed media can do. We even have an example from the past that really shows the difference: Zip drives. They were basically beefed-up floppy disks with extra stuff on the disk (I forget the details by now) that was created by the factory and allowed the head to exactly follow the track and thus allowed the tracks to be packed a lot more closely together. Or consider hard drives: open one outside a clean room and you probably ruin it--because the gap between head and platter is less than the size of a lot of dust. Removable media must be able to cope with dust. Closer head = smaller data point = more information density.

CD&DVD are safer and longer lasting storages than hard disk

I don't think that is their point, rather back in the day when these were in wider use,some people thought the best discs were made in Japan among other countries.

Yes back when optical discs were a thing the Japanese mfrs (Ex. Taiyo Yuden) had a reputation for higher quality discs. They would be resold under various common brands like TDK and you would check the packaging in store to determine which mfr was used. Im not sure if there are still any discs made in Japan since production is so minimal now.

Not really. Maybe by a bit, but these are not archival-quality and will probably start delaminating in 10-15 years.
Cloud storage would be way better due to data redundancy and off-site location.

Who uses these discs? Photographers, people backing up scans of family photos to spread around to family in case of a fire or other disaster.
I can understand the use case for professional photographers. However, even if someone wants to use physical media instead of cloud storage, USB drives, or SD cards for backing up family photos I would think CDs, & DVDs would be the better option for that given those formats are still more common than BDs.
