Where I worked till retirement (National institute of Standards and  
Technology) I knew a fellow who was their expert in microfilm.  He and  
the US National Archivist were on first name basis.  He strongly  
believed that the way to make stuff available to the most people most  
easily was with computers.  He also adamantly believed that the ONLY  
way to preserve printed information for the LONG term was microfilm.   
Period.

I think they do not really have a noble, altruistic, conservators  
viewpoint on preserving stuff.  They really only want profit.   
Claiming to have scanned lots of stuff is just part of that.
