Your analogies do nothing but confuse the issue, AWS is vastly more expensive that comparable connectivity and reundancy with colocated, dedicated or even virtualized instances in comparison to other providers, at all but the smallest scale, especially in terms of ram.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Look at the list of services you can spin up with 1 click at AWS. Now go to your little rent-a-server provider with a $49 a month server. Tell me how you add RDS / multi region LB / S3 / IoT / blah blah blah with 1 click to your $49 rent a server?
