For $50/mo I can have a connection from Comcast.  That doesn't mean that
I could run my own cable to the nearest major exchange for anywhere near
$50.

Also, what's the failover if your $9/mo CPU develops a bad RAM card?  Does
your $9/mo CPU have sufficient geographic diversity to survive a backhoe?
And about 4 zillion other things that people that actually have to run production
services worry about...
