When you build on top of "linux", yes. However, many cloud services are built on top of S3 or App Engine or other proprietary services.

This means that they can only be run on that provider.

They can be faster to develop, at the risk of not being able to move later.

S3 is not that hard to replace. There are plenty of services like backblaze which provide S3 Api. You can spin up your own service with something like minio.

Getting S3 reliability or availablity is lot harder ofcourse, but most apps don't need that.
