> Interestingly, the reasons AWS put forward for why private clouds fail will be just as true for themselves: enterprises can’t manage elastic demand properly, whether it’s in their own data centre or when they’re paying someone else.

This really rings true with me. I feel like Amazon aren't doing enough to tackle this problem though.... Does anyone else find the standard AWS tools for demand scaling to be like working against the grain in comparison to the rest of the platform ?

No. Lambda, DynamoDB, autoscaling read replicas on Aurora, Serverless Aurora, and even the regular old autoscaling groups are easy to automate and maintain.
