AWS is PCI compliant. http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/pci-dss-level-1-faqs/

DigitalOcean and most others are not.

AWS's security and API is lightyears ahead of everyone else.

Yes, this is all true. But the question remains - how much is that worth to you? For some it will be mandatory. For others (particularly startups), not as much.

If said startup is storing any personal data, it better be important.
