It's a mystery how DockerHub remains free. The network and storage costs must be massive. Docker also sold it's enterprise business, so I am not sure who is paying for all this.

If you're running a package registry, you'd be painfully unaware of your own requirements if you're using a host/cloud that you need to pay for the amount of bandwidth.
Hosting a package registry on AWS for example, unless you figure out a way of seriously reducing the amount of traffic (which seems to be against working towards making a popular registry), is suicidal because of the bandwidth costs.
