Not that it makes much of a difference, but storing 10 EB on AWS S3 is more like 300 million USD a month. With some tiering options you can reduce that a bit further, but still it’s a huge number. Following your link you seem to have used FSx Lustre for calculation, not S3.
That calculation may also take into account upload and download bandwidth. And I know there are like 100 different cloud products in the AWS console. I don’t know much about high scale performance tuning but I bet dozens of those AWS services would be involved in something like youtube.
To answer the “why not” part of that question, copying one of my comments from earlier today:

Oh wow those are incredible numbers!! And most of the videos uploaded are pure garbage. :(
Gotta maintain that monopoly
If only we could crowdfund billions per month for a video site run by the community for the community!
I believe they call that taxes.
