Maybe you are missing the point made?

For many people (and other animals), memory is tied to a specific place. The poster knows that the note they made is i.e.

red notebook on top shelf, page 12, top left corner.

Searching in digital notes doesn't give that same sense of place.

And the sense of place, plus the "path" that connects items in the space, is an important part of memory and learning.

And this is exactly why we need the metaverse! (kidding)
