In the UK it’s called hoarding and people who do it are subject to lots of derision similar to how people treat the village idiot.
Do you have a house full of toilet rolls.
About your remark: see under my avatar "Location: Belgium".
About your question: no - I don't fit in the suitcase on my avatar pic. ;)

Yes, anyone dissing Ortlieb needs burning !
This is a forum about bicycles and a topic about Shimano Snaps, not some Weirdoe Ortlieb Church that Wants to restart Witchhunting for the Non Believers.
Please Get Back in Line! ;)

I would not like to take away the opportunity from you. It would feel wrong.

How many do you have, out of interest?
YOU saw the opportunity, remember?
About your question: none, so far they went the old paper way.
My Octalink 2 set so far didn't go the scrap metal way.
But as reported, I'm Willing to Change if there's a market for it, my offers are still open, for your information. ;)
They likely even beat Shimano's Hollow Technology 2 in making you Limping on 1 Leg.
But we need to give them a good commercial name...
What you think about "Hollow Hardboard Technology 1"?

I had a SRAM GXP bottom bracket in 2014 that seized. Stuck absolutely solid.

Come to think of it, I have a bit of a grudge against SRAM GXP BBs. Lucky for you all I don't have time to turn that grudge into a hobby.

They do that.

I changed to Praxis GXP as the bearings are easier to change. We can all agree that GXP bearings are rubbish, even Silva, but I feel they would need a hammer and chisel for him to remove.

After the clashes with @Nova (alias Silva) on the Dutch forum , I thought he had absolutely no sense of humour, but after reading the last 10 pages about spindles I have to come back on that, he DOES HAVE actually some sense of humour.....

He makes as much sense as those weird "frites and mayo" that the Dutch eat. It's chips and ketchup or daddys sauce. Not mayo.
