Right here - network is expensive. Another issue is cost estimation. Servers have prices, rack space has prices, engineers have salaries. You now literally have people hired now to work on how to calculate infra costs on aws (finops). Spot

There are benefits to both systems. Western readers have a hard time reading older writing - while eastern readers have no problem with very old texts. On the other hand - western scholars can understand what the spoken word sounded like -
