Maybe not needlessly expensive? Seems to be around 600$ per month (rounding up) on AWS to store there. So maybe 8k a year depending on traffic? Plus like another commenter mentioned you can also just store multiples of 10 and you are at 80$

It's still pass by value. The value of the object happens to be a reference to a memory location. A primitive also points to a memory location too.
