That would be what you would pay in the absence of competition. This is an incredibly competitive space.
Then how do AWS, Azure and GCP charge 100 times the amount for bandwidth as other hosting providers and the IP transit quote sitting in my email inbox?

Depends. For my hobby project that hasn't been monetized, being charged $100k is way worse than it going down. If it were critical infrastructure, or monetized in a way that brought in revenue to cover the charge, then maybe I don't want it to shut down despite skyrocketing costs, but that's hardly the only situation you could be in.
Nobody is going to charge you $100k.

Why isn't one of those providers roflstomping the other 3 (add OCI to the mix) with better pricing?

Their docs are all over the place. I don't understand what their default offerings are. And that makes it hard for me to chose them.

Competition only matters for new contracts. Once you have picked a provider and made a big enough infrastructure investment, there's no realistic path to switch to someone else.
Keep laughing, I can switch clouds in less time than you take for figuring out cloud costs.

My belief, and you can correct me on this if you have evidence to the contrary, is that nobody actually pays those bills.
