If estimated cost for is so easy to calculate why not put it in the UI?

"Running this query will touch 2PB of data so you'll be charged $20000" for it..

1) not easy to calculate 2) the query needs to be run to see the true cost
The person responding to complaint was quick to point out that size of data displayed in the UI relates directly to estimated cost. I see no reason this estimated cost shouldn't be shown in the UI as well.
