If you don’t have some form of automated throttling, couldn’t that still become costly if a popular webpage started pulling resources from that bucket?

If so, their warning could have been phrased better, but isn’t incorrect.

You can put the bucket behind Cloudfront and only give access to the bucket to Cloudfront.

But then, would the OP get an email saying they have “one or more S3 buckets that allow read or write access from any user on the Internet”?
