Don't forget bandwidth costs at this scale are significant to say the least.

I assume most of that exabyte is stored in 2-3 datacenters, in which case the bandwidth cost is actually relatively small. Downloading it would cost a fortune (or take an eternity), but if it stays in the datacenter (or stays in AWS), bandwidth is cheap.
