what's the practical (non-ideological) case for ICP web hosting for a regular person?

So, I've been following some of the posts and the shared content from X regarding sovereign clouds, and I want to stress-test "decentralized hosting" as a selling point rather than take the marketing at face value.

Rough cost math for a small static site (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong): ICP storage runs about $5–14/GiB/year vs. roughly $0.28/GiB/year on AWS S3. Query calls (serving content) are actually cheap on ICP, but inter-canister data transfer is expensive by comparison. Net result: mainstream options like Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages are free or near-free, and even paid shared hosting is often $5–10/month flat. On pure cost, ICP doesn't seem to win for the average use case.

I get the censorship-resistance and "no single point of failure" arguments (of which I'm a great fan myself), but I'd like to set those aside for now. Most personal sites aren't targeted for takedown, and major cloud providers already have very high uptime in practice.

So: if you strip away the decentralization narrative, what's left that would make a regular person choose ICP over conventional hosting, purely in practical terms? Concrete cost scenarios, real friction points ICP solves better, and honest UX/maintenance comparisons (vs. Wix/Squarespace/managed WordPress) would be genuinely useful... not just "up to 80% cheaper" claims without a breakdown as seen here in some X posts.

Not trying to FUD, just want arguments that would hold up when explaining this to a non-technical friend who just wants a working site without extra cost or hassle.

TL;DR: ICP's decentralized hosting looks more expensive than mainstream options once you exclude censorship-resistance/ideology. Looking for real, practical (not marketing) reasons a regular person would still pick ICP over Cloudflare/Netlify/shared hosting.
