That's a hell of an assumption.

Agreed. But, I'd argue that these drawbacks/constraints are exactly what you need when you are faced with a virtually unlimited # of choices. When you are building software that needs to survive audits and is sold to financial institutions with 5+ year contracts, intentionally paying to have your hands tied is a fucking blessing.
I also used to shit all over the cloud until I was put in charge of the whole product stack and had to field difficult phone calls from other CTOs. You may find your position change over time too if you are put into this kind of a situation.
