I use some of the techniques as offsite "well, maybe it's with that cloud storage?" disaster recovery backup options.
I have used Backblaze, and was storing 16TB there, and that was $50/month.
I did a simple envelope calculation, decided I could either hand-roll a offsite system with 2x consumer harddrives, or look for other options.
I have 28TB backed up with another provider now.
Why haven't I tried either AWS or Azure cold-tier storage?
I have maybe 2 hours a month where I can spend looking into solutions to my offsite backup situation, and I am somewhat concerned that I could mess up the AWS solution and cost myself thousands of dollars. This coupled with a lack of time, significant competing concerns (keeping a job during a global pandemic job market; work-load; personal life), and "eh, I'll get to it"-laziness, means I have to put this on the back burner.
If you handed me a simple solution using rclone, zfs send, btrfs-send, or a pre-canned "this is what it would cost" Bacula approach, I would move to it.
