A better comparison would be Cloudfront and Application Load Balancers since you can expose your own ec2 server or load balancer and be e2e encrypted (unless AWS wanted to run commands on your instance, which they could do, but that's a different threat vector entirely).

That was the model I had in mind but it’s not really a meaningful distinction since the host could almost certainly compromise those servers as well. In any case, you’re trusting a third party rather than having their involvement maliciously imposed.
