You have completely missed the point. The US$5/month is not a hardship. What is a hardship is taking what used to be done in 40k Perl and require 2G. It is a affront!
What is a waste is writing a poor quality greedy web server when Apache/Lighttpd/Nginx all exist and are much much better.
What really cost me was the two weeks I spent trying to make motioneye (python) and motioneyeos (not) work as advertised. As advertised! It is not only that the python is too bloated that stops it working, it does but there are other reasons. Very clearly no body has really tested it. It is a symptom of python culture. Shoddy and arrogant.
I feel terribly burnt by it. Twice. So my stack of desire in this domain is quite small and simple: Never to hear again from python! A very personal POV, be happy in your python hacking. I saw the opportunity to have a public rant and I took it!
