To be fair - you're getting maybe $75 worth of hardware, plus datacenter space, power, and an unmetered 200Mb/s network feed to it - none of which you can get for free even if you have a spare 'Pi and SSD lying around doing nothing.
It's no great saving over places like Hetzner or Digital Ocean, but I don't think it's _quite_ as bad a deal as you're making out... I wonder how much more than $300 it'd cost you to buy the hardware that Hetzner give you for four times as much per month?
