I think you're an edge case. In fact, there is a very precise parallel with the fact that you store RAW/FLAC/VOB data, while the vast majority of people is perfectly contect of JPG/MP3/AVI.
In addition to that, I think that there is not such a thing as space limits, at least, generally (not always, of course).
Specifically, one would imagine that the general attitude is 'I have to store such and such - where do I find the space'?
Instead, I think that in general, it is 'Oh, I have such space for free/cheap price... let"s store stuff!'. Especially with the advent of the Terabytes order of magnitude, I guess most of the storage is simply composed of movies, even if they're never watched, either once or more times.
Again, pay much attention to the bias. As an amateur photographer, I'm tempted to think that "raw is the law", but in fact, for the vast majority of people, it simply isn't.
