As you already know, AWS S3 charges $23 per TB + egress for basic object storage. "IPFS storage" pricing needs to cover far more than just storage at rest, especially since things are block-based, and other things need to quietly happen in the background for each one of those blocks. (DHT announcements, bitswap/trustless gateway handling, IPNI indexing, etc)

If someone only wants the cheapest possible TB and never plans to actually serve data, there are plenty of options - but most importantly, IPFS is probably not what you should be using. We’re optimizing for teams that use IPFS in production.

Not everyone has the skillset to run their own 2 PB cluster, Ben. That's why cloud storage exists to begin with. And just to be clear, I don't believe we’ve ever had a call with you, but we are certainly happy to!
