I understand what you're saying, but why? I assume the site in question is pretty low volume. What's wrong with serving directly from S3?

You can't get https on S3. Also many interesting headers are only available via cloudfront.

Also you get a little bit of protection from someone sending lots of traffic to make you spend $$$

S3 does not support gzip compression.
