Which is why most folks use CloudFront like AWS recommends, which is typically free for services to route through. Prices for CloudFront egress are competitive with what you described for other vendors. I don't know anyone paying $90/TB out to internet on AWS.

Were you trying to route S3 directly out to the internet?

The Cloudfront pricing page you cited is just as bad, except the free tier for Cloudfront traffic is 1TB/month rather than 0.1TB/month. The pricing is just as bad above that. It says "Free for origin fetches" but upon further research, seems like that just means you won't pay twice by also having to pay for your traffic to get from its origin to Cloudfront.

You still haven't cited where you got $90/TB from.

For example EC2 traffic (from US and EU locations, other get more expensive).

Not everybody is serving public http traffic, though.
