That would be true but you stated "circa 2016, the cool kids are all backing up to rsync.net with borg", so comparing your service pricing as a backup product to Nearline is appropriate I believe.
Don't get me wrong, your service definitely has a lot of good applications and the free bandwidth is quite great but for those of us that just want somewhere to park a whole pile of data we aren't going to touch much, Rsync.net is quite expensive.
Also a downside of rsync.net vs. AWS/GCS etc. is that you can't direct users' HTTP requests to rsync.net. That dampens the usefulness of online storage and unlimited bandwidth, since it essentially limits it to servers under our own control. If I could run HTTP off it directly, my feelings would be very very different.
