Yes R2 is likely loosing money in this case. But network capacity and switches is not that expensive the way AWS is charging for it. For $60k/month or $720k/year, AWS is basically giving 3GB/s.

I feel R2 should charge something for transfer though, otherwise people could abuse it. Hetzner charges ~1.5% of AWS egress fees which I feel is right thing to do and likely profitable.
