Maybe this will go somewhere, but here is my prime concern: there is no such thing as a lubricant that lasts forever. Oil, grease, what-have-you, the friction they are preventing will eventually win. So I predict that these drives (if released) will have far lower lifetimes than current drives.

This wouldn't be immediately apparant - they might last a year - but I would guess a large backlash would be in store once they start failing en masse.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my logic is sound here.
