The biggest "scam" if you can call it that is reducing all factors of CPU performance to "cores".

I'd argue the even bigger scam is charging for egress data transfer rather than just for the size of the pipe.

AWS is pretty transparent about what sort of cores you are exactly getting, and has different types available for different use-cases; typical example would something like r7iz that is aimed for peak single-threaded perf https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/r7iz/
