No we are getting to the crux of the issue, the fact that you believe Goolge, or likely any of the other Alphabet companies, are sitting on billions and they operational cost is next to nothing.

Here is the experiment I generally recommend that may help you solve this. Build a service even half as competent as YouTube and host it. Serve even one or two users a month, project your costs out to 5-10million consecutive users and exabytes of media stored and see just how astronomical that price is.
