It's just a question of whether your company is willing to embrace vendor lock-in with AWS. Sure you can do lots of cool things with proprietary AWS services. Probably more than a few customers can save a boatload of money by porting legacy workloads to ARM. But the price is being utterly dependent on AWS and losing control over your cloud bill.

That's not necessarily a bad trade-off, mind you, it depends on what business you're in, what your architecture looks like, and what your org's capabilities are. But it is a trade-off and customers should be mindful of the downsides when they make these decisions.
