Offering loss-leading products is a common business strategy and I'm perfectly okay taking advantage of this for hosting needs that fit a vendor's free tier.
Static hosting is very cheap to offer and gathering free tier users will gain developer mind-share, which helps the vendor can sell their truly money-making products. To pick a clear-cut example: AWS Lambda does not collect any additional data on free tier usage compared to paid usage.
I also have a /simplification-check skill I run after pretty much every large change, and that already helps surface the murky areas of the code and sometimes remove complexity before I even start reviewing, thus accelerating the review.
