In a world of 48kHz, 96kHz, 192kHz, why does UVI release their libraries at 44.1kHz? I know that's the final sample rate of most productions, but not all.

Because it taxes the CPU much less, I would venture to say.

While it make a lot of sense to actually record in higher sample rate (and that's what we do), there is less for the actual data storage.

I'm not saying it make no sense to actually run your plugin at a higher sample rate.
This is definitely worth it if the actual processing is not oversampled internally. (for some filter and stuff)

I try to avoid HDD guzzling sample libs

This is why we have moved to the FLAC format as well.
No loss of quality but now you can really put your soundbank on your SSD and this is very welcomed for the loading time.

When I bought Synth Anthology back in the day it came on two DVD's that took more than 8GB HDD space.

But it got updated later, and now only occupy 4GB+

What an interesting video! It really clears things out. I'm going to make my plugin's samples 44.1khz FLAC files too. It just makes more sens than oversampling for nothing.
