Memory isn't an issue. It's processing the data and turning the storage into a format the client can read. A big blob isn't easy to send to the client unless it's an image or something and then it becomes an issue when you want to manipulate the data or process it.

it's a 1000x1000 image... this is a trivial problem

What he means is: you wouldn't look for a "solution" for writing a 1 mb text file to disk, because its quite trivial and fast in any language.
