How is this not abused to hell?

  Static content, no server side. Plus it's temporary unless you sign up for an account.

    You can still post horribly illegal content and make nefarious calls to other services from a static site.

      They do, but nobody cares. I'm sure if you report them they'll do something if it violates their TOS. In practice, I've seen these being used for black hat SEO and copyright infringement.

  It will be. I remember Dropbox having this exact same feature in 2015. A dev once sent me a basic HTML prototype as a public Dropbox folder w/ CSS and JS and HTML files. It worked great. Then one day, Dropbox shut down that feature. Pretty sure there wasn't any announcement.

  The pages are temporary. And not really that different from the other free hosts out there (Github Pages, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Gatsby, Google App Engine). It's just easier to use.
