Their infrastructure team + infrastructure would be cheaper then their Amazon spend, guaranteed (based on known Amazon margins).

And disentangling be disruptive? Stand up your new datacenter and shift your apps over with DNS when they're ready to serve production traffic. If you can move traffic between regions, you can move it between on prem and cloud.
