AWS charges Amazon to use their servers as it does any other big business. If your department can’t be profitable taking into account your AWS bill, questions will be asked.

It happened to something related to an internal game studio (???)

When I was there, our department’s use of the internal system for creating sandbox accounts (Isengard) was charged against our profit and loss.

If you are a big enough customer, you can get rates similar to what AWS charges Amazon.
