why do we not still have these?

if you think about storage per mm why not increase the platter size for people who want raw storage over preformace. the new 5~6TB drives are pushing the limit per mm and dumbing down prefomace why not go back to 5.1/4" since people are getting less and less into acutal physical disks and more into flash storage. why can't someone make another quantum bigfoot sized drive?
