There's all kinds of info in here about freeze dryers that I never knew I didn't know.

I still don't want a freeze dryer, but I can now speak authoritatively as to why.

Not sure I can commit to an hour of this but I’m curious why shouldn’t someone, per the video?

Primarily because it’s a $3k piece of equipment. There are myriad other food preservation methods (canning, pickling, drying etc) that compete very strongly on the price/performance scale.

For some people it’s worth it, but for most use cases it’s going to be cheaper and simpler to go with an alternative method. There’s nothing wrong with the equipment or the technique, it’s just the value proposition for the consumer is low and the entry cost is high.
