You’ll need to be more specific. Do you believe there is no such thing as something that scales (sub) linearly?

Economies of scale are a thing. Do you think the marginal cost to AWS of adding more storage servers to S3 increases over time? Or does each additional server amortize a little more fixed cost and only increase the support cost logarithmically, meaning it effectively costs less?
