the expensive bit of serving big websites is the ads, the tracking, the analytics, the vast internal teams focused on endless avb testing etc. if you boil Wikipedia down it's mostly static pages with a crud editor. it's cached to the moon and back, most pages don't change. the pages are tiny. they're not paying aws for bandwidth.
