CloudFront is one of the worst CDNs out there, so this isn't really a good point.

Any CDN can be stood up in front of a small fleet of dedicated hosts, and you'd still be saving 80%.

In fact, if you are using AWS you really ought to put a proper caching CDN in front, given the crazy high bandwidth prices at AWS.

The bandwidth prices are high enough that I at one point mulled over setting up an "S3 compatible" storage service using S3 as the backend for durability, but storing a single local copy to most-of-the-time avoid hitting S3.

S3 bandwidth prices are high enough that there are huge cost savings to be had if objects are retrieved reasonably regularly.

It was just a simple example that AWS is more than compute cores and disk space.
