Not always true. Some data is intrinsically bigger than others.

If you have a petabyte of chatlogs, sure, you have 24x7 obligations to millions of people. If you have a petabyte of astronomy data, you have like 3 research scientists using it.

The research scientists DEFINITELY can’t afford to run petabytes of astronomy data on AWS. Source: am a research scientist.

Oh, for sure. Just that you don't usually have the amount of dedicated staff that was implied.
