a dedicated IP so you can use a non-SNI certificate still costs $600/mo on aws cloudfront.

Wow. IPV4 addresses aren’t free, but they’re not usually that expensive either.
With cloudfront it's not just one IP, it's potentially one at every edge node. But yeah, every time I see that pricing I get a little chuckle because it's so obviously deterrent pricing - it's not how much the IP address costs, it's the minimum amount Amazon wants for dealing with your bullshit.
On most hosts I've used, they're about $2/month.

I wish it were the year 2060 so IPv6 could finally be used reliably.
