Photos keep getting larger (raw, higher resolution, capturing additional information such as depth etc), videos keep getting higher resolution at 4k+ with higher bitrates, you can currently easily fill up a 1TB+ drive with video game assets and so on.
If you do any 3D work (engineering or artistic), the assets for these projects can be huge. If you're doing ML work training sets are massive. If you do more conventional development/content creation, software and assets needed keep getting larger with a never ending list of things to pull down from github etc. If you're just working with data/databases, the amount your working with never seems to get smaller and if it's time-based there's always more history to deal with as the years tick by.
Even if one does everything in 'the cloud', all you're doing is shifting the location of the storage needed rather than the quantity. So it's pretty much the same old story of 'more' when it comes to how much storage is needed.
