Not if, as R2 says, they only charge for objects that exceed a single digit request per second threshold. Your write once read once model still only costs as much as the storage at rest would.

I don’t think they mentioned this would be “per object” and I assumed they meant per account.
Free per object requests is super game-able. Want 1000 free requests per second, just rotate through 100 identical objects.

But then you're multiplying your storage costs 100x, aren't you?

Which are often significantly lower than request (and egress) charges.
1,000 reads per second is 2.6 billion per month. At S3 prices, that wound cost around $1,040.
100x storage is pretty minimal to achieve this. For example:
100x 128KiB = $0.000192/month
100x 10MiB = $0.015/month
100x 1GiB = $1.50/month
