For $50/mo I can have a connection from Comcast. That doesn't mean that I could run my own cable to the nearest major exchange for anywhere near $50. Also, what's the failover if your $9/mo CPU develops a bad RAM card? Does your $9/mo CPU have sufficient geographic diversity to survive a backhoe? And about 4 zillion other things that people that actually have to run production services worry about...
