Is there anyone in the world who hasn't cut their negatives into strips? https://www.beauphoto.com/product/printfile-archival-negativ... The ability to scan an entire film seems rather useless to me in light of that.

I for example develop my (black and white) films myself and leave them to hang dry uncut, then proceed to store them in a box. When I have the time, I "scan" them using a MILC on a tripod, a 3d printed holder and a LED backlight panel. Afterwards I cut the strips up and file them properly for long term archival. Many of us do it this way.
