AWS features may be expensive to replicate 100% but what if one only needs 80%. One also needs to consider the effort involved in configuring AWS and maintaining the skills for that. Then there are opportunity costs of using e.g. AWS dashboards vs. better ones with grafana etc..

I guess a lot depends on size, diversity and dynamics of the demand. Not every nail benefits from contact with the biggest hammer in the toolbox.

You are correct, but I think you're missing the point: my 80% and your 80% don't overlap completely.
