It is a matter of priorities. In my experience, while saving in financial costs, tiering between HDD and SSD frequently comes at great sanity/frustration cost for those maintaining it. It can make sense commercially if there's a team (internal or external) to take care of things going sideways.
The point is that as long as HDDs are cheaper, they will definitely be used. SSDs are not replacing them in environments where latency isn't an issue.
