You'd be surprised. I've seen AWS bills well in the 9 figures. It's just that fixing expensive designs is, in itself, quite expensive, and many of those very large corps have hiring practices that don't allow them to complete for the top of the market. Sometimes there's tens, if not hundreds of millions in savings a year, but corporate sclerosis makes it very difficult for broad cost-saving initiatives to be identified and approved. It's the same issue in any large organization: Large levels of success somewhere allow for large levels of waste somewhere else, but often the waste is not required for the success to exist: The success just makes the organization complacent.
