You don't, but business executives aren't the kind to easily admit they got conned - and if they're getting close to that stage, a nice dinner or golfing session paid by the vendor's representative generally alleviates those feelings very well.
Engineers who started their career during the cloud craze and don't know anything else are also not the kind to rock the boat, lest the cash cow dies and their whole "investment" in their career becomes useless.
You must have the data upfront, you cannot build this in an incremental fashion
There is also bo mention on how this would handle updates, and from the description, even if updates are possible, this will degrade over time, requiring new indexing batch

Imagine paying $250+/mo for 32GB of RAM and 4 VCPUs. No wonder Amazon is swimming in cash, the markup on this is bonkers.
And that’s the per second pricing applied 24/7 for a month. A year commitment takes 30% off.
Still a big markup, but a lot of these comparisons are the the on demand instant on/off price.
