The Hetzer-equivalent service is Amazon Lightsail, which starts at $3.50 a month ($5 for 2TB transfer) and has access to all AWS services.

No it isn't. Hetzner provides full blown linux instances with 2GB of RAM, while the Ligthsail instance type you're trying to compare has a barely workable 512MB of RAM. That's the equivalent of a meager Orange Pi Zero.

The Lightsail instance type that is equivalent to Hetzner's 4€/month instance is sold for 20€/month.
