Why does anyone need a 16tb hard drive?

I stocked up on 20tb over the last two years. It makes no sense for me to buy anything smaller, because my parity drives have to be at least as big as a biggest drive in my array.
The main reason people are buying these right now is because LLMs need to train on yuge data sets, and there isn't a great alternative for storing the world's largest datasets.
Hard drive manufacturers got fucked by all of this because they had to find ways to make the drives bigger. They've all taken slightly different approaches, but the HGST one is kinda nuts because in order to work the machines all have to operate in a helium chamber. There's actual helium in your computer.
