They're mostly used for cheap cloud storage like S3/Dropbox/Backblaze/etc.

The top dogs are rarely the cheapest gigabyte/dollar wise. If you look at https://www.backblaze.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Q4... you will see their bread-and-butter was still 4TB in 2016 with 8TB slowly introducing.

Built my NAS 8 years ago with 500gb drives. Upgraded 5 years ago to 2 TB. Not even half full yet :(
