These use cases can need TBs of RAM, but they don't get it in a single node but as a distributed system with tens of GB of RAM per node.

Um, err we have a few tens of 1.5TB memory nodes lurking around. There are plenty of use cases for that out there.

I work in a cloud environment where SAP HANA databases are provisioned. We offer VMs with multible TiB RAM for the larger HANAs.
