It does get cheaper. The problem is your needs grow in lock step with the growth in CPU & memory.

The $5 linode instance is both way cheaper in real terms and way more powerful than the $5 linode instance 10 years ago.

1 modern vCPU, 1GB of modern RAM, 25GB modern SSD would be enough to host a large website 10-20 years ago. Now, its basically useless because of software bloat.
