I have a feeling this is an apples to oranges comparison.
Can you serve clients directly over HTTP using Sia in a permissioned manner? If not, then it's not usable like S3. If it's not usable like S3, then S3 pricing comparison is meaningless.
Also, how correlated is Sia pricing to the overall cryptocurrency market? Will my costs go through the roof when there's another crypto bubble?
Would it actually scale? If Sia became popular, would prices go up like Bitcoin transaction prices? Isn't the extremely cheap bandwidth due to spare capacity of average broadband plans? If so, wouldn't providers eventually cut that off? Broadband pricing relies on the fact that most users don't use all of the bandwidth most of the time.
