Because they own the CDN and most of the bandwidth is from peering, so it essentially costs them nothing. Netlify on the other hand has to pay per GB to AWS.

Netlify manages to be wildly overpriced even by AWS standards, CloudFront starts at about $85/TB, which isn't cheap by any means, but that turns into $550/TB(!!) if you go through Netlify. They have some of the most obscene bandwidth pricing in the industry by a huge margin, and to add insult to injury they don't allow you to set a spending limit either.
