The complaints I've read were mostly for prints left exposed to the air (sometimes for a relatively short time)and who knows what paper they used.

Note that the archival claim is for the new pigment-based inks, not for the previous dye-based inks. Only a few printers so far can use these new inks.

maybe in 50 years it will be difficult to read a CD

The obvious answer being to keep copying forward to the new storage technology just as we did with transitions like 5.25"->3.5" floppies. Given the way storage densities keep progressing, there will be fewer and fewer units to copy at each transition.

More to the point, perhaps, what will you do with that color negative in 50 years when they have stopped manufacturing color print paper because no one uses it anymore?
