"Lock-in through the range of services" is key. You can go all-in on AWS and use RDS, Directory Service, EMR and still be able to move off AWS and use the open source systems beneath. Granted, there are services like S3 that are proprietary but on the other hand you can move to something Riak CS that provides API compatibility with S3.
