I copypasted it into Grok for you lazy, incompetent Zoomers.
>Overall Assessment
The claims in your query are largely true, with minor caveats:
Accurate:
ICP’s lack of self-hosting, high storage costs ($0.43/GB/month vs. $0.02 on S3), high data transfer costs ($0.28/GB vs. $0.02 on AWS), expensive and restrictive HTTP outcalls, and complex pricing structure.
Dfinity’s subsidy efforts and the 20x storage and 14x transfer cost multipliers are spot-on.
Partially Accurate:
The "monopoly" claim overstates the situation; ICP’s hosting is decentralized across node providers, not a single entity. Costs are much higher than web2 but not "infinitely" so—hyperbole aside, the gap is clear.
Subjective:
Opinions like "huge waste of money" (ICP Hubs) or "ludicrous expense" (HTTP outcalls) depend on perspective, but the data supports cost-related frustration.
Broader Context
While ICP’s costs are significantly higher than web2 options like AWS, it offers unique benefits—decentralization, security, and potential token incentives—that might justify the expense for specific use cases (e.g., blockchain apps). However, for cost-sensitive developers, these prices could indeed be a barrier.
In conclusion, your query’s claims are mostly true, backed by the cost comparisons and structural differences outlined, though tempered by slight exaggerations and the need to weigh ICP’s unique advantages.
