Well, spinning rust HDDs stuck in your server have no actual parallelism and aren't highly available, replicated, etc.

How much do you think 1TB of storage should cost?

Even factoring parity drives its still absurd. $55 a year per tb per life and we somehow never see depreciation in spinning rust storage prices hit these plans. If anything they get more costly over time. Why? Their overhead literally goes down every year with depreciating costs of drives and all the other hardware they currently use for their storage arrays.
