That absolutely makes sense. But you can achieve that by either being able to deploy the client specific bits to AWS for clients that absolutely insist, or by simply deploying proxies and picking and choosing on a per service basis whether or not it makes sense to deploy it to AWS or proxy it to your own infra.

Sure, but there's a fun catch with this strategy. I'm familiar with some companies that refuse to work with vendors that use AWS for production hosting of their footprint because it would be funding their competitor. There's no such thing as a company that contractually requires all of production in AWS though, in contrast, not even AWS.
