That's not a very common use case though. Most companies don't need to DDOS their cloud provider.

25Gbps is 250 cable Internet users downloading the release of your new software. What you call a DDOS is actually a woefully underwhelming instantaneous transfer rate.
If you're distributing releases (or anything, really) users should not have to go directly to your object store...
You should put your objects storage behind a CDN if you expect that many downloads. That's much cheaper and faster.
