That’s easily fixed though, e.g. by using Cloudfront or something similar.

  If it is that easy to fix, then why does it happen over and over and over with posts on HN? There is obviously enough of a barrier (either in time or cost) that keeps everyone from doing it.

    Because it's easy to fix, but the effort is not _zero_ Also, people may not realize this is a problem until it actually becomes a problem. In the mean time they will be happily rendering stuff on every page load, after fetching (static!) data from mysql on every single request.
