It definitely does matter if the host machine is taken over... an attacker could access other customer instances, shut down the system to try and shut down EC2, etc..

If I've paid for the bare metal machine then by definition I already have root on the host machine. Securing that is just as much my problem at that point as is securing my EC2 instances.
