A very important difference is that 99%+ of backblazes bandwidth is inbound (people storing their files). Inbound bandwidth is free at most datacenters. Transmitting data (like archive.org does when you request to see a webpage) is not and could account for most of the price difference you see.
This also does not count that archive.org likely needs more infrastructure than BB does for serving files, caching, etc.. They are one of the most visited (top 250) websites after all.
