Especially gas-powered as they can then rev them all the time, raising the annoyance to completely new levels.

Apart from the SMR vs. CMR, if your NAS will run 24/7 you need to make sure to use 24/7 capable drives or find a way to flash a 24/7-specific firmware/setting to a consumer drive. Normal consumer drives (e.g. WD Green) tend to have a lot of energy saving features, e.g. they park the drive heads after a few seconds of inactivity. This isn’t a problem with normal use as an external drive that only gets connected once in a while. But in a 24/7 NAS the drive will wake up lots of times and park again, wake up, park again … and these cycles kill the drive pretty fast.

I think that already happened and was called "The Fappening". You can still find it with Google.
Check out the Victorinox @work series - so you can have your USB and screwdrivers always with you.
Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.
EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it's no affiliate link, so I don't even get anything if somebody clicks on it.
What makes you think there's no way of updating the firmware? Also, they could be made so that there's a simple API (like a serial device exposed via USB) and apps for Win/macOS/Linux to update the label. But I guess the demand was never there.
Same here. Like “Cold! Look elsewhere…” 🤣
It’s a shame these never took off. I’d love for my various USB drives to have displays that show their labels and maybe even contents.

Money. It's much better if you can sell the same thing over and over again.
Apart from all the online tools there are also offline website builders like blocs (macOS/iPad - but there are similar tools for Windows as well) that let you design your website and will spit out the files you then just need to upload to any provider of your liking. It's basically a WYSIWYG static site generator.
This! Wipr on phone and Mac. Pi-Hole in my home network.
And for annoyances there’s also Consent-O-Matic and SponsorBlock installed.
