56 Gbit/sec costs you about €590/day even on Hetzner.

You are correct. I was putting "a caching server on their side" in the context of their side being a single dev hobby project running on a VPS, exploding on the weekend. I agree that these servers do exist and some companies do pay for this bandwidth as part of their normal operations.
