For most businesses with less than a hundred instances, the cost is negligible and probably is cheaper than the companies Slack bill.

Windows server licenses[1]!? Even looking at EC2 it's nearly 3x more expensive to run Windows than Linux, at a glance[2].

Yes, still irrelevant. The only people that seem to complain about the cost are people not actually responsible signing off on invoices. Compared to the many other costs a company is spending money on, it's unlikely the MS expenses will even show up in a budget review unless you're really screwed the pooch.
