Whatever narrowly veiled sort-of insults you may wish to aim in my general direction, one claim I make for myself and all the clients I have ever served in my practice:
Only the wetware ever suffers data losses; not the systems, s/w or h/w - networked or single units - and choosing the right h/w & s/w facilitates that when used with care & proper attention.
So - say whatever you wish about me, others besides myself readily testify to 20+ years of great results from good practices under my advisement.
I will stand by my choices, thank you.

You seem to have a lot of odd ideas regarding how people should manage their computers/digital resources.
Given that you believe most people dump all their garbage on the computer and dig through their IRL trash for the old food they threw out last week, I can only imagine that we are all disorganized enough to seriously need more indexing tools like calibre!

But as it happens, I cannot speak for most people but I certainly do not do something so ill-advised as to treat valuable data with such scornful hatred. My data is sorted in order that I can find it when I need it. And I don't go digging through heaps of smelly, slimy trash in order to rescue things I never threw away because it wasn't trash.
It seems we have irreconcilable differences. I don't think I have anything to say regarding your initial queries, I guess.
