AWS is more like a commodity service, relatively easily swapped for something else.

… if you only run a few (micro)services on a few dozen machines.

Whole enterprises run everything in the cloud. 1000s of vms. From active directory, dns, virtual desktops until “lift and shift” legacy apps. And also a lot of networking to make the company networkwork with aws…

And that is only the technical aspect of it.
