> Smaller players also pay the highest cost for bandwidth. If some plans don't have bandwidth caps yet (many already do), they will get caps as soon as serving bandwidth as an individual becomes profitable.

Isn't it the other way around? Small providers offer low traffic costs while the big cloud providers (Google, AWS, Azure) charge significantly for bandwidth.

Small providers pay the most for traffic to their ISPs, because they get smaller volume discounts. What Google/AWS/Azure charge is a different topic entirely, they themselves pay much less.
