As someone working as a web developer for a smaller company, I don't get the use case for AWS. Super confusing naming of their services and nontransparent pricing.
For the vast majority of people some 5 Dollar hosting is more than they need. Just copy your files to the server. Does not get simpler.
And if you need more, it is super easy to set up a dedicated server these days anyway.
$5 hosting is absolute not enough for most big businesses. The times I've actually gone for simpler solutions, they're usually built on AWS (ie Heroku or Netlify)
I never said anything about big business. It is fine for a small Wordpress Blog and the like. Not everyone is Google. Lot's of small and medium sized businesses.
