The climate religion has usurped science. When all of the data comes from black boxes, no experiments can be reproduced and every dire prediction from the past FIFTY YEARS all turned out to be wrong... instead all we get us "trust us bro or you're a Nazi!". That's religion not science.

Science is changing your hypothesis to match the observed data. Climate religion changes the data to match the hypothesis.

Of course they overplayed their hand, it was the only way to get funding. One side of this debate got funded and the other didn't. The scarier your thesis the more money you got. Continuing to deny this objective fact just demonstrates the damage you have done to the credibility of real science in the name of your religion.

There's a ton of value in knowing that the monthly drive health report that it produces showing bad sectors and I/O retries is accurate. In fact that's most of the value. They used to be able to guarantee that with a list of compatible drives but now mfgr's have made it impossible for them to even maintain that list by cutting corners on firmware such that identical SKU's run different fw.

No a big selling point for Synology is the testing suite that checks drive health and they just couldn't rely on manufacturers to implement their own SMART firmware to spec so those tests could be believed. Some mfgr's even started releasing different firmware on the same SKU so one drive would test properly whereas another wouldn't.

Firmware verification is why Synology's branded drives cost so much more. There's big liability there for them.
