A datacenter being soc2 compliant doesn’t mean any of your systems are. Same with pci. Same with hipaa. Cloud providers usually have offerings that help meet those requirements as well, but again, you can host bare metal, colo, cloud, or a tower under your bed, their compliance doesn’t do anything to cover your compliance.

Yes, quite right, that’s what I meant with my “I still have to do the work of securing my services”.

Would be the same no matter where I’m hosted.

Going to guess you meant to reply to the parent though?

They do cover your physical security requirements, which is still important.
