the average lifespan of a multinational company of Fortune/FTSE-500 size is about 40 years,

Does that > 20 year timescale put the problem in the same category of problem as "don't buy vinyl/cd/cassette/blu-ray because in 40 years you won't own a device capable of playing it"?

I think I was a late adopter for CD and did not have a CD player until 1994. I don't have anything which can now play any music I bought before 1994. I honestly can't remember if I own a VCR. I think I do not so I don't have anything which can now play any film or TV program I bought before about 1998.
