When you use AWS you pay extra for the fancy steak. But you pay steak prices even if what you buy from them is a cheap burger.

It's really hard to find scenarios where AWS isn't ridiculously overpriced.

Consider that Digital Ocean is also an expensive alternative, but I deploy caching proxies for some clients who for various reasons insist on using AWS on DO because you can save lots by deploying droplets on DO to cache rather than pay AWS bandwidth costs for all your traffic, for example (you serve more than 1-2TB a month out of AWS you can start saving money that way).
