This is not true at all. It's very easy to run a hybrid with parts of your application in other parts of the cloud. I do this. There's even a remote API stub so you have direct access to the full suite of GAE APIs from servers in EC2 or whatnot.
There are certainly limitations to what you can run inside of GAE, but there's almost always a good way to work around it while preserving the benefits of scalability, multi-datacenter reliability, etc. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's great for most common web applications.
