Why is egress more expensive than ingress in clouds? To lock in users.

Why cloudformation in some cases leaves s3 buckets laying around after destroy? To keep charging those cents.

Why no caps? To get the user into the mindset of we ll pay whatever they say, and charge the ones that dont notice or dont ask for the refund. Same reason why my newspaper subscription autorenews.

Nothing cynical about both of these. I think assuming it is technical is naive.
