This is only because AWS grossly overcharges for bandwidth. If you move all services that have high bandwidth requirements to providers with reasonable prices you'll save a significant amount of money.

For example, a client in us-east-1a can hit the Aurora reader endpoint and be directed to an instance in 1b even though there's a healthy instance in 1a.
