True but if AWS knows your lock-in is less locked-in, I'd bet they'd more flexible when contracts are up for renewal. I mean it's possible the blog post's primary purpose was a shot across bow to their AWS account manager.

Isn't it slightly depressing that this explanation is fairly (the most?) plausible?

Our state department of education is one of the biggest networks in the world with about half a million devices. They would occasionally publicly announce a migration to Linux.

This was just a Microsoft licensing negotiation tactic. Before he was CEO, Ballmer flew here to negotiate one of the contracts. The discounts were epic.
