Using the same price for read requests, regardless of size feels weird to me (S3 is the same for internal use). The cost to the provider of serving a 100kB file and a 100GB file must be quite different, so why price them the same to the user?

The cost for the egress/ingress link is fixed by how large the pipe is not by how much you use the pipe.
