The world is bigger than web companies.
For contrast, one experiment at CERN produces 40TB/sec of sensor data, before downsampling and filtering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Muon_Solenoid#Collecti...

As a rearguard defense: Yes, but, what percent of the time is CERN running an experiment [that generates that data]?
According to a quick Google search, average time spent driving is 101 minutes / day.
Totally makes sense that CERN (and, likely, any large Science! efforts) produces that level of burst data, but wouldn't these cars produce more data over time?
As a different topic, a different friend of mine is of the opinion that AI is dependent on the throughput of data through the system; think about the amount of information your body feeds to your brain, and how much time it was doing that before you were capable of communication.
