If they are static sites and mostly text, they could be hosted directly out of freaking S3 for a pittance. There is no way a service this niche and this intentionally minimal consumes enough bandwidth to make that painful.

Maybe you should step up and do it. It’s not just about paying a pittance but it’s also about the time to maintain.
Once it's up on some kind of object storage there is no "maintaining". The content sits there and is accessible. That's it.

We are talking about ensuring that the content doesn't go away, not keeping the service writable.

Yes, I am serious. My email is in my profile. I would gladly take this on.

So, do it. Don't ask for others to spoon-feed it to you, contact the owner, take the matter in your hands.
Who asked for anything to be spoon-fed?
"My email is in my profile"
It's called an invitation, just in case anyone who has more info, or the owner, wanted to reach out. If you assumed, apropos of nothing, that's a comment on HN were my only actions on the matter, well, maybe don't do that.

Perhaps in the future be less insulting and make fewer assumptions.

Exactly. Contact the owner. Do it. Post here when done. It’s a pittance!
I have already done so. Awaiting a reply.
Great! I hope you’ve really done it, what a wonderful service! Please remember to post here.
What’s the latest?
Nothing. I have sent him a message by every medium I am able to find and have not received any response.
You can use cloudflare r2. It has no cost for bandwidth and first 10gb of storage is free.
