honestly, I sorta wonder if the support from tooling (VirtualiZarr, GDAL) to make legacy formats more performant in modern environments winds up being a net benefit in the end
this is a half-formed opinion! but: older tech would force migrations of data into newer formats, and damn anyone who didn't. I genuinely don't have a good understanding of how to evaluate the current status quo, which doesn't force migrations but does force new tools to support old formats
to some extent: I wonder if tools would be better if we were still in a place where we could enforce data standards on providers
maybe we can't do that anymore! but that definitely feels like a different era than past tools, which could say "you're doing my data standard or you're left behind"
