It isn't always bullshit. There are essentially 3 billing methods; per gig, flat rate, and 95th (or 98th) percentile for a reason - everyones needs are different.
Per gig is fine for lower bandwidth requirements. Flat rate is great for people that want a known set cost, and 95th percentile is typically better for those consuming large amounts of bandwidth that may still need to burst above and beyond "the norm".
