I can't help but think that a hybrid cloud/on premise solution would be cheaper in the long run for them. The millions of dollars that they pour into AWS, it seems like they could colocate/contract out some heavy on-premise hardware for standard load and then offload peak load to spot instances.

It's hard to say without seeing the numbers as they're almost certainly getting a very steep discount from Aws (in return for extolling the virtues of Aws, being pushed in Aws promo material etc.) In addition I would assume there's some sort of exclusivity clause in there.
