#2I hate these comparisons because it's not apples to apples.
The entire point of AWS is so you don't have to get a dedicated server.
It's infra as a service.

#3S3 is also 10x more expensive than this single consumer grade second hand hard drive I have.
Managed NAT gateways are also 10000x more expensive than my router.
This is a boring argument that has been done to death.

I don’t understand your complaint.
The point of having a private chef is so you don’t have to cook food by yourself.
It’s still extremely useful to know if the private chef is cheaper or more expensive than cooking by yourself and by how much, so you can make a decision more aware of the trade offs involved.

My feeling is that a more apt comparison would be "cooking yourself vs. ordering Doordash all the time" (aka "a taxi for your burrito)

Sure, that might be a more appropriate comparison.
The key point is that being aware of the cost trade off is useful.

#810x sounds way off. Try something with good nvme disks and decent amount of ram. It should be 30x

With cloud, you hire a private chef and ALSO have to cook the food by yourself.
You don't hire a team to maintain the server infrastructure, but you hire a team to maintain cloud infrastructure.

#10I do like watching these comparisons however it reminds me of a conversation I had recently with my 10 year old.
Son: Why does the croissant cost €2.80 here while it's only €0.45 in Lidl? Who would buy that?
Me: You're not paying for the croissant, you're paying for the staff to give it to you, for the warm café, for the tables to be cleaned and for the seat to sit on.
