NAS is just easier to deploy and maintain, and more task-specific IMHO than
a general purpose file and print server.
The advantage would be that you don't have to develop settings and software
etc for a server. Can be cheaper in the long run as well.
Think of NAS as a subset of the features you get with a standard server.
For example, you would never deploy a NAS device as an application server
later. No repurposing.
