Nothing, because it makes each disk quite costly and by the 2014 nobody wanted costly and slow HDDs.

Check the Seagate offering up there it has 1Gbit interface. You can't even run the drive at full sequential read/write speed over it. And having a two 10Gbit ports on each drive would require having two 10Gbit switches, which by 2014 were still quite costly.

EM6 solution[0,1] is neat but at least it both the quite packed both by the spec and the price but delivers a lot of IOPS and throughput.
