attempting to reduce X to “just a function of cost” will almost always “work” - if one assumes themselves experienced enough to know how to spend hypothetical dollars.

the amount of traffic a website can handle is impacted by both. with insufficient experience, website won’t scale, money won’t be spent.

There are a bunch of tradeoffs--cost, cost predictability, control, redundancy, flexibility, etc. Money isn't a magic wand as you say and, honestly, I'm not sure how much extra I would pay in general on the off-chance that a blog post might go viral every 10 years--if that is indeed the tradeoff.
