They claim R2 is only free for infrequent access, and the storage price is still really expensive compared to the cost of hard disks, so the potential for disruption seems quite limited. There seems to be potential for big disruption only if downloads aren't counted as operation in "Above this range, R2 will charge significantly less per-operation than the major providers". Based on the release it seems the thing that would be most disrupted is storage and distribution of huge files (one download operation, huge egress bandwidth), which would result in it mainly being used for Mega clones for paid piracy.
