There was some talk of this issue in the recent fediverse inefficiencies thread. I'm hopeful that in the future we'll have a decentralized solution for file hosting but for now I deeply believe that users should pay for their own file hosting.

limit their size or the volume allowed per user

Fedi software like Misskey already did exactly that. Each user have limited "drive" which can be upgraded/customized per user. People even reuse image they already have on their drive, so it won't be any duplicate files.
