I think they should explain this a bit better. That said
For core services like compute and storage a lot of the price to consumers is based on the cost of providing the raw infrastructure. If these path style requests cost more money, everyone else ends up paying. It seems likely any genuine cost saving will be at least partly passed through.
I wouldn't underestimate #1 not just for availability but for scalability. The challenge of building some system that knows about every bucket (as whatever sits behind these requests must) isnt going to get any easier over time.
Makes me wonder when/if dynamodb will do something similar
