Nice strawman. I never said you can't operate more efficiently.

Every service on AWS charges egress fees that's my comment. There are other cloud operators that do not. I can safely run some static compute / storage / network at a fixed cost, you can't do this on AWS.

If too many people come to my website it won't wipe out my credit card. The site might go offline but I'd rather take that than a huge bill.

No provider on the planet gives you truly unlimited, fixed cost networking throughput. None.

AWS provides Lightsail for a fixed cost, static compute, storage, and networking solution. It's a not strawman argument just because you don't understand it.
