I’ve heard this refrain most of my career - and believed it at one point. But the bytes themselves are heavy and hard to move.
Multiple projects I’ve worked on in my career would have had to _physically move_ the data (plane, train, semi) if they wanted to migrate - there was no reasonable way to get the data out of the datacenter over network on any reasonable timeframe.
