IIRC LTT suffered a data loss incident on a storage cluster, and they rely on big-ass RAID clusters which are known for the long recovery times. These tradeoffs may be fine for a Youtube channel, but are completely unacceptable for any other business, and it could have other consequences, such as fines if they are unable to pull up compliance records mandated by law. They can simply negotiate with other cheaper providers such as Backblaze and Wasabi.

ZFS misconfiguration IIRC. My understanding is that they are knowingly keeping the raw project files of finished projects on a relatively weak setup because they don't believe the data to be important and don't want to pay a lot to keep it. Actually important data is likely handled with a bit more care.
