CVR why 30 minute duration?

As we all know data storage costs have plummeted over the years, however the standard CVR (still) only records the last 30 minutes. Is there any reason why this is limited, other than the cost of re-engineering/re-certifying a new recorder design?

It seems there have been a few instances where the 30 minute limit has not been sufficient to capture a particular circumstance (for example Northwest 188).
