They offer features that you'd have to build yourself with S3, e.g.:

- HTTPS with automatic certificate provisioning

- CDN

- CI/CD integration

- Add-on features like CMS, identity management, functions, etc.

They also tend to offer those things for free, within certain usage limits. If you just need a plain HTTP site with no frills S3 is just fine.
