If you are willing to sign a contract and commit to spend $ millions per year on AWS services for 5+ years like Epic Games did, then sure, you can get the same $/TB price they got.

At some point of very large usage, you also have to work with AWS teams to give input on your demand forecast.

Unless you have such large usage you get list price, that also gives you the illusion of infinite elasticity.

This is not exclusive to AWS though, all hyperscalers have this policy.
