AWS has advantage due to economies of scale. (And naturally some disadvantages and challenges due to sheer size, which increases fixed costs, but that means that they can't easily downsize, which doesn't apply since they are still growing at an incredible rate.)
So they should be able to reach the lowest amortized cost for bandwidth with all of those costs included.
They price bandwidth so high because they can and they are still growing.
