the same reliability at what scale?
this is a major difference. S3 has amazing reliability but is a incredible complex system with many moving parts, which incurs cost in terms of reliability.
The simpler the system, the more reliable it usually is.
Most bussiness do not operate at even remotely the same scale as amazon, and running a small scale cluster of S3 like functionality wouldn't be that hard.

S3 is reliable as data is not stored in a single place. It reduces the risk of wate leakage, or some vandals ripping your storage rack apart.
However, as someone put it, put your money where your mouth is. Become a contractor offering to reduce storage cost in exchange for 10% of the savings. You should be a millionaire in now time according to your own narrative.
