One might wonder if at those file sizes, working with text still makes sense. I think there's a good reason journald uses a binary format for storing all that data. And "real" databases tend to scale better than text files in a filesystem as well, even though a filesystem is a database.

Most people won't have to deal with that amount of text based data ever.
