Paper, is unfortunately, a very volatile asset. Most intelligent textile users know this. Not to mention the fact that the Gutenberg technology and other printing presses like it suffers at the whims of its publishers and technologically incompetent people like lawyers and judges. Also, scrolls from just twenty years ago can barely be read today.

True, but I'd still rather be able to read an actual slate and have an actual tangible copy of it, and passing down an actual stack of slates than a leather binding of full of pages of dubious quality and readability.
Last but not least, is the comfort of not being a neophile douchebag, jerking off over the latest fad technology like books; using a typewriter as such would probably be the only thing that would be committing an even worse offense in the same category.
