Egress is free as long as you use it for individual backup, or for other data you want to keep just in case and mostly discard, like old logs.

If I do the math but I store a lot of data that gets served by a CDN. It rarely changes and is requested enough that it will stay in the cache. I'm already paying for the CDN, so I can't save there but if can save on storage, it could be useful.

I'm not disagreeing with the point that that pricing is clear or not "hidden" but more that there's a use case here that can make sense.
