That's true, although i doubt it could last as long as their claim. Besides, it's not that expensive compared with regular CD/DVD so IMO you might as well as get more durable ones.
Why store all information on CD/DVD when you can store it on google drive. I always keep everything there and advise you

There are many reasons not no store such data on Google Drive, such as
  • Google might close your account if your google account inactive for some time[1].
  • If your account is flagged for ridicouls reason (such as storing text file with "0" or "1"[2]), you lose access to Google Drive and it's difficult to make appeal.
  • Google it's known for poor privacy[3].
