The requirement is compensation. You could just pay them through PayPal. There's no need to have them do a stock trade for somebody else in order for you to pay them for S3 space.

PayPal is centralized.

S3 is centralized.

This is not an apples to apples comparison.

Compensation is what is driving the decentralized ecosystem (including payments, file storage, among the other things mentioned in this thread).
