Hi Matt! I am the founder of the data search project Dateno (https://dateno.io) and we have a lot of statistics in the search index and when searching data sources.

I would like to say that in terms of number of geospatial datasets was never 80%. Maybe something between 30-60%. But in terms of quantity, and if we consider climate and geoscientific data as geospatial data, then there was probably a time when geospatial data was king. Not sure about 80%, but a lot.

But since 2020 the amount of genomic data is increasing and for example the Chinese Academy genomic database is about 53PB and it's growing very fast just like other genomic databases. So in terms of amount, genomic data and thermonuclear data from CERN (369PB in 2022) could be much bigger.
