and why would you ever take raw data out of AWS ?

if it is for migration: it is one time cost that anyone can swallow easily if they decided to leave AWS for something else.

If your data is worth < $94/tb - it is really not worth pulling it out of AWS. Just let it sit there.

or just use cloudfront to download your data ($8.5/Tb)?

On top of that, if it's a big enough deal, most salespeople at other cloud providers (GCP, Oracle etc.) will gladly pay you to migrate. They'd probably even throw one of their Solutions Engineers at the problem and do it for you for free.
Selling your soul to a different crack dealer. Hmm.
crackheads will move mountains for a score.

this checks out.
