You are wrong. Not everybody has the space for 1.6TB of nalimov EGTBs (assuming the 33p which is 65 egtb's or so in nalimov format fit within 1TB together with the remaning 42p). If that in diep format is like 10GB, odds are more positive. Further which user knows nalimov? A few chessfreaks sure. Not the average user. They basically know, if they know anything the chessmaster format at the moment :)
