Doesn't really sound like it's aimed at you. Tape is for serious long-term, high-volume storage. If you've got a limited budget for the tape device it's probably not designed for you in the first place.

Is this a question? I can't tell you if that's how you find my comment or not, sorry.
They wants a cheap tape device because they just want to use it in the home. Tape devices aren't cheap... because they aren't aimed at use just in the home.
They aren't aiming at home users - I think that's a simple fact not presuming anything.
The parent clarifies above that they are not a home user.
Even if you believed they were a home user, they
clearly demonstrated in their original comment that they did know that it was for long-term, high volume storage, and they did know the cost, and you appeared still to belittle them for not knowing.
It's a question in the sense of - why did you choose to say it in this way, which seemed impolite? What did you intend your comment to add?
