I spent a couple winters in the 80’s working as a drivers assistant for UPS. One of the places we picked up packages from was a back door of a strip mall. It was just a room with racks of VHS recorders where the owner was duplicating porn videos. We’d pick up literally a few garbage bags full of packages every day. I doubt that setup would have been there if it was all Betamax. It probably would have cost significantly more both to set up and for the blank tapes.

Exactly. Why invest more for a smaller market?
