New nodes still need to sync. Multi-TB per year will get quite unwieldy, especially as we run into physical limits to data transfer and processing speeds when we're decades into this.
Besides, you need a way to keep track of UTXOs to verify txs. Imagine when we're into the multi-deca-billions of UTXOs to track and verify. No go.
