I feel unusual when I see articles like this. I deploy "workloads" that require instances, auto scaling, Multi-AZ etc. It makes my projects feel minuscule at the scale of other companies that actually use something like this! I wonder how many companies will actually use this in any given year.

I imagine surprisingly many. I have operations that are not remotely on that scale. 8 employees with total data on the order of tens of terabytes. I found that to be a surprisingly heavy density of data per employee. A 1000 employee company with the same density is on the petabyte scale.
