Why does nobody talk about how many anime episodes are lost media?

I found a list on a fan wiki that said over 100 early episodes from the 60s and 70s are just gone, which really surprised me. Has anyone else looked into this or found a specific lost show they wish they could see?

Check with local TV station archives, they sometimes have old reels in storage... @ninar68 is right, it's a real shame.

Totally agree with @riverb13, it's heartbreaking!

The number is actually way higher than 100, it's in the thousands. A lot of early TV was just taped over or thrown out.
