I wonder if most of the cost comes from S3, EC2 or the "premium" bandwidth that Amazon charges ridiculously much for. Since it seems to be doing a lot of requests, it wouldn't surprise me if it's the network cost, and if so, I wonder why they would even use AWS at all then.

Inside it's free (except multi region etc). Ec2 <-> S3 is free bandwidth (you pay for requests).
