Fascinating, I wasn't aware of that. They still offer an "AWS Snowball", which is 200 TB instead of 100 PB, but around the size of half a full size suitcase instead of a semi truck. You then ship that back and forth.
If you need 100 PB then moving 500 of those around seems a lot easier for everyone involved than managing a special snowflake truck.
