If you scale up ahead of time then it's not really on-demand, that means you have dedicated hardware you're paying much more for.

The marginal cost to keep a large-ish spot instance running 99% of the time is dirt cheap (eg $400/mo to keep one extra c7g.8xlarge running).

If you're paying for an engineering team, that's a rounding error.
