"The limit on throughput is the current fiber limit of say, 10 ter/sec."

You mean that SR can mix microwave channels into one 1.0THz analog microwave channel and then drive an EO modulator with this signal? That is about the minimum analog signal handling requirement with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio over a single path (waveguide? coax cable? wire? ether?)implied by your 10Tb data rate.

"The cost advantage is 10 to 1 cheaper than the WDM equivalent. As WDM
approaches its technological limit, cost comparisons are meaningless, since
tweaked SR operates way above any theoretical WDM implementation.
Do you know how this 10:1 cost advantage is achieved?"

Could you please explain what constitutes the 10:1 cost advantage? Is it terminal equipment? Is it the cost of dark fiber?
