Nope it's not ridiculous. If you are only allowed to store data for x month that's it.

It's your job to use technics which allow you to do this like using encryption on your backup and deleting the keys for it, for example.

The calculation is very thin in my opinion.

10k of infra costs are not a lot of money in a business context.

A person to operate a private cloud with OnCall, backup hardware, capacity planing etc. costs what?

I would always try to have GPU on prem as those prices are quite high bit others I would use managed.

Cloud providers are just much better in operating infrastructure ad normal ops.

How did you determine the pictures he took have a high dynamic range?

I looked at those pictures and had the opposite feeling.

I was surprised how bad they are from a pure quality aspect.

I assume the jpeg and scanning is a very hard limiting factor.

I can get a lot of range when shooting raw with my canon 80d.

Is there any source which explains what billion of parameters actually are?

In my mind a parameter is: language, dialect, perhaps context parameters (food, dinner, lunch, travel) and if we than talk about language and audio perhaps sound waves, gender.

Or are context parameters which gives you insight? Like a billion of parameters are literally something like travel=false, travel-europe=true people speaking=e, age, height,
