If I was forced to use one for home movies nowadays I'd not want LP or worse still EP especially if I was using full sized tapes (they made some full sized tapes that ran over 3 hours in SP).....Hell, if I was making NTSC home movies I'd want digital8 or Hi8mm over VHS or even S-VHS.

Another thought is that perhaps by the time LP and EP were becoming established they were close to releasing VHS-C and did not want to bother ginning up full sized camcorder lines that were about to become obsolete/unmarketable overnight...
