Alright, if your expected scenario is that bleak, sure, we should try our best to keep the chain as storage efficient as possible but even if Taiwan and China stop supplying SSDs there are still quite a few manufacturers outside of those two countries and your bigger concern should be regarding CPU / other components.

Fair enough.
My concern is the tendency to build freedom preserving technology in a way that presumes the economic bubble of the last 70 years will continue. Especially considering the geo-political state of the world, and the patterns of history.
And I am not sure that it will be a sudden and rapid collapse. In fact I doubt it.
But things are changing, and the economy we have enjoyed due to a post WW2 bubble, is ending. And we dont produce enough of our own stuff. We need to be wise. If i see a production chain from material supply, to end product, that has resilience to shifting geopolitics, Ill ease up on resource efficiency.
