As a micro-customer, I like the "Only pay for what you use" model.

But AWS charges fixed fees for Route53. You have to pay 50 cents/month/domain when hosting static sites. My volume is small enough that I pay 4x$0.50/month for Route53 DNS, and like 29 cents total for the actual storage/transfer.

The profit margin on that 50cents/month must be 99%.
