Ask HN: Why is the bandwidth on the big 3 cloud providers insanely expensive?

0.08 per gb is... insane? Are they out of their mind? Maybe I don't get this but whenever I chose a provider, I always look at the bandwidth pricing in addition the the compute costs.

Bandwidth on DO, Vultr, Linode etc is priced reasonably at 0.01 per gb, though that can be decreased further now.

Such is the case with mongodb atlas (their cloud DBaaS) because they only provide their offering at those providers I can't use them.

Or am I missing something here?
