My costings are based on GCP; with sublime discounts even.

And, I would really agree with you if not for 2 things:

1) "wasted" cycles are not wasted, the CPU will clock down.

2) Kubernetes was designed specifically for this, the idea is you slice the CPU up so much that you dont waste much resources.

It's astonishingly capable of consuming all resources.

By the by; RAM is never "wasted", it's used for various caches.
