You don’t explain why but, can we all assume it’s cost?

Pretty much standard in the US. Even at sit down restaurants, free refills of soda is normal.

People searching for something is reflective of what people search for, in some cases for products it's reflective of popularity but, I would argue in this case there's a good chance people are searching for Excel more for tips/troubleshooting/how to, than purchase intention.

If you look at a range of wide range business functions, opening and editing text documents is more prevalent than using spreadsheets.

Excel may be globally more important of a product but, Word is certainly more popular.

Now it depends on how you calculate value.

I’ve always been curious about the “on-ramp” here

How does a legit company purchase $4.5M of BitCoin in 24 hours?

I would assume using a “K&R” style broker but, without one of those how would you do it?

Using large data stored in S3?

Make sure you are fetching it via a S3 endpoint in your VPC instead of via public HTTP. You are paying for an (expensive) egress cost you don’t need to be paying for.
