I mean, that’s not quite the same thing to be honest. That’s a choice made hundreds of times by individual instance owners. Is it a good choice? Debatable. But that reliance can also be bypassed by those same owners rather quickly if it became a problem. You can’t pivot out of AWS quite as fast unless you have a backup plan locked and loaded.
