A few people have raised this question in the thread already, but why are we compelled to store such unreasonable numbers of images?

I'm definitely not immune and I find that the satisfaction I get from my photo collection is inversely proportional to the size of my collection. At this point, I'm just lugging around this huge mass of data "just in case". There's no way I will ever have time to sort my images. There are probably 2000 wedding images alone, let alone the tens of thousands thousands of random snapshots that may or may not be something I ever care to see again.

At this point, I would almost prefer a smart solution opt-in solution similar to what Google photos provides for smart albums: "We found these images that would be good long-term. Save them indefinitely?"
