And they of course still are, as they didn't change anything related to the prices, but just increased the amount of traffic in their free tiers. That removed the pain for toy projects and workloads not requiring much egress traffic, but doesn't really make a difference for traffic heavy applications.
For example transferring 10TB/month from EC2 in us-east-1 to the internet did cost $899.91 before and costs $891 now.
For reference here is the announcement of these changes: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-data-transfer-expansion-100-gb-from-regions-and-1-tb-from-amazon-cloudfront-per-month/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-data-transfer...

Sure it's highway robbery but they neatly segmented the market into the people who are and the people who don't and charged the former less.
