I do think the demand decreased in the past decade. The average consumer has their photos and documents in the cloud and signs up to streaming services for movies, shows, and music. Local storage is not as important as it used to be.
But on the opposite end games are only getting bigger and fast internet is still semi expensive so having large drives would be beneficial to people that want to keep multiple games installed on their PC/console.

fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.
Mostly the photography market as far as I know, those raw images take up a lot of space.
