1. The big cloud providers charge enormously for outgoing bandwidth. Most of us know this, but unfortunately it bites people a lot.
2. If you host big files on these clouds with no limits or warnings, it's just a matter of time before this happens to you.
This is why I don't run hobby things on these clouds. Any hobby project may have backends and services running on them, but NEVER anything user-accessible such a webserver, S3/GCS bucket, or similar. It's just too much of a "click here to bankrupt me".
For a business it's a different matter. You are making money, and you're spending money to do so. You still need to have a DDoS plan for your outgoing traffic, but it's much easier to solve these problems if you have revenue. Revenue buys time and people.
