Just because it isn't as good doesn't mean it's not a direct answer. This is basically the lowest hanging fruit response AWS can give against Cloudflare to convince people not to migrate over.

Maybe the idea is that if you're doing 1+ TB of CloudFront traffic, you're already deeply locked into AWS anyways and less willing to make the jump anyways.

1GB of egress costs about 9 cents.

The cost savings is equivalent to ~$9/mo in standard US regions. Nobody is going to migrate clouds over a $9/mo saving.

If we're talking about CloudFront that comes out to $85. That's actually a pretty good savings, but it's distinct from egress. CloudFront's pricing isn't locking customers in due to egress pricing because it's a CDN, not a data storage service.
