Looks like it's not anonymous (requires my email address), and costs $0.15 per GB per month. What advantage does this have over S3 (0.0245 per GB/month) or OVH

  The advantage is that it pins stuff on IPFS while the others don't? I'm not sure I understand the question, I'm afraid.

    Why would anyone care about IPFS? Presumably someone pays for hosting to get their content shared. But if other forms are cheaper, what does IPFS bring to the table such that someone would pay for your pinning service if its not cheaper or anonymous? And why wouldn't someone just use AWS and run their own node to pin it?

It's much harder to censor, more permanent (content doesn't go away if your server goes down), etc. > And why wouldn't someone just use AWS and run their own node to pin it? Because it's more expensive and more hassle than just using a third party service, of course.
