It's a good way to bypass legacy IT teams. A onprem server will have a bunch of snake oil endpoint protection products running on the box, bespoke config changes and take a couple months to get up and running, a ECS container is up and running in minutes and has whatever you shipped in the container without all the commentary from the peanut gallery.

I've run into this kind of snake oil in the cloud, as well. Some organizations demand all routing go through an "upstream" VPC operated by the parent org's IT dept, so various third-party security services (WAFs, IDSes, etc.) can scan / inspect the traffic.

A poor DX can happen in the cloud as well. Waiting weeks for IAM configuration to be solved or a security group to be opened..
