The blockchains you are thinking of were never meant to be data storage layers. The proof-of-storage chains (at least, the ones that store "real" data) are much more reasonable, check out prices for storage on FileCoin.
The distinction here is that nodes publish proof that they have data stored on chain, rather than publishing the data itself on chain.
