AWS cuts their prices all the time. Every couple months an email comes out announcing price cuts for S3 or various EC2 instances.

And yet they're still far above most of the alternatives.

E.g. my object storage costs are 1/3 of AWS. My bandwidth costs are 1/50th or so of AWS prices.

There are valid reasons to use AWS depending on what exactly you do, but it's extremely rare for price to be one of them.
