I did and you ignored all of it -_-
* To store 10+ PB of data.
* You need 15 PB of storage (running at 66% capacity)
* You need 30 PB of raw disks (twice for redundancy).
>>> At retail, 625 16TB drives is $400000.
That's only 10 PB of disks. That's about one third of the actual need.
Please triple your number and we will start talking. That's about 2000 disks and well above a million dollar.
You can't just call a supplier and get for a thousand 16 TB disks (or even a hundred). They don't have that in stock now. The lead time might be 6 months to get a few hundreds. They might not have 16 TB disks for sale at all, the closest might be a 12 or 14TB.
Handling large amount of hardware is a logistic problem. Not a cost problem.
