Presumably they're talking about the egregious price of NAT on AWS.
It's next to free self hosting considering even the crappiest consumer router has hardware accelerated NAT and takes a tiny amount of power. You likely already have the hardware and power since you need routing and potentially other network services

Maybe. I agree AWS is over-priced. However it shouldn't be "free".

That's not the same product / service is it? We're discussing networking products and this "crappiest" consumer router wouldn't even push real world 100m of packets.
