@100 How do you see accessing on chain storage in the future? Why are there not many tools which let me at least sort my data.

Accessing the data you stored on chain means crawling the entire blockchain to find the data you own (unless you already have a copy of the transaction hashes). That consumes energy and isn't free.
Block explorers already provide such service.
Full nodes (which inc. miners) can access data on demand, but parsing it (i.e. turning a raw transaction into an image) is a different matter.
In the future I believe there will be services that will provide what you're looking for but they won't be free.
I think full nodes are going to become ever more important. I can see that blockchain queries will be essential. Is there any incentive to return transaction data?
The incentive is business:
A service that serves data to all BSV apps/users that have a need for it. Such service makes money on usage, charging customers on # of API queries / month.
Twetch needs such service, especially a reliable one.
