> you reduce vendor lockin

I don't know why anyone cares about vendor lock in. It's either trivial to move an aws lambda to a google cloud function because you don't have a lot going on, or it's not trivial to move stuff from even your own servers to other servers because it's under huge load and you have considerable amount of data you'd have to migrate under complex conditions.

Moving around is either hard or easy based on things that don't really have anything to do with vendor lock in.

No, vendor lock in can mean a lot, from lets say even a simple plain API implementation, where one vendor might implement something(storage for eg) in a way where its not possible for the other vendor.

I recently moved one of my k8s cluster from gc to aws, even terminology change can introduce a lot of awkwardness.
