Mainchains do not scale even with 12tb drives. If zaps had to be written on everyone's node that would fill up quick. Monero works as a niche, but with a large amount of success it'll crumble. The ASIC resistance will be regularly cracked when there's market incentive to do so. The blockchain size will be stupid and unpredictable if it became popular. I used to be on the ASIC resistance side back in 2017 but learned how difficult it is to keep fair. I'd rather the rules be set and the market competes. I run Bitcoin the og way, its possible with a few hundred dollars and hours.

What happens when tomorrows 12TB is how we look at 12GB today? All of what you say heavily depends on the rate of adoptions and if it remains a niche doesnt it? Consumer tech is not static and technological development is not static either. i.e. implementing bulletproofs shrunk Monero transaction size by ~80% You're basically saying Monero will suddenly become so successful that it will break (a problem that is also possible for Bitcoin and more likely for it's popularity). What a great problem to have. And if it doesn't gain that crazy level of success (most likely case) then what is the problem? It still remains a useful tool for many.
