That's the price you pay for early decentralization, I guess... Before AWS or any other similar service, how were the fees at the beginning of the internet days? I guess we'll have to wait until evolution and competition brings more affordable conditions for DApp developers.

Before AWS or other similar service, you'd have to use shared hosting with CGI scripts. Here is an ad from 1998 [0]: it says "200 MB storage, 6 GB transfer, CGI access and Own Directory, $13.95/month".
The CGIs was not speed daemons, but you could easily sustain 0.5 request/second (~43,000/day). So this is still way way cheaper than DApps.
