Storing file uploads on convex vs S3

So far I've been handling file uploads on my side projects with the _storage database in convex. However, I just came across one of the convex videos on Youtube: https://youtu.be/BPPThblvitQ?t=96 that stated that, its not a good idea for us to store our files on convex.

Does anyone know the reason for this? According to my understanding _storage is still experimental/indevelopment. Is it because of this?
