The piece about ~14 billion years is clearly a marketing deception.
That being said, this looks like a completely different technology to CD/DVDs, one that will be deployed in an enterprise environment and likely have certain mandatory performance requirements.

Like Verbatim's 100 year Azzo DVD media that failed in 10 years?
Or 1000 year CD's that failed in 3 because a manufacturing defect that let moisture into the metal layer?

The data is laser etched into fused silica. It will not degrade like CDs or DVDs. It will hold its data until something damages the disk.

Yeah and mass manufactured CD's are physically stamped into aluminum and then covered in polycarbonate.
In 20 years some new type of degradation might be observed and people will say, "Oh yeah, we didn't think of that."
For example the etching could start micro fractures from repeated heating and cooling that happens over the long term.

Until I toss it into my key basket and watch it get ground down to dust.

Suspiciously unmentioned: the cost of the media itself.

Free, but you need to pay enterprise level maintenance fees on the devices
