IMHO That is the whole point..

(speaking from webhosting experience, same deal applies)

You are paying "more" for "1TB" that you won't actually use to fund the cost of people who actually do use it..

If the price was 1/10 of the TB price for 100GB, all the physical storage would be full and they wouldn't make any money since they couldn't ride the float from the overprovisioning..
