I'm not surprised. I'm convinced AWS has strategically focused on making costs difficult to keep on top of so you just pick a service, assume it's magically cost optimized for you and use it even though that's not reality.
Side note, I love the Vantage EC2 instance comparison chart, I've used it a few times recently and it made my life so much easier. Thank you and your team(s) for providing this freely and publicly:
