This is like going to a supermarket and complaining that the plastic bags for you to store your shopping in cost 10 cents which is a 8000% markup, as if plastic bags are why you're in a supermarket

This is a horrible example that doesn't not apply cleanly.

To fix it, let's change it from buy per bag to per gram you want to leave the store.

So your canned soup costs at least 3 times more to leave the supermarket then in cost to buy it than to eat it in the supermarket.

This is not even an exaggeration. s3 is 0.024/GB and egress bandwidth is 0.09/GB
