I've always said AWS is the master of the 80% solution. They make a product that gets you most of the way there.

The reason they can get away with this is because your data is already at AWS. It's a lot easier to use a new service if the data you need is already there.

That's their advantage. That's where the real lock in comes from. Not from you using their services, but from you keeping your data there.

Most of the competing services are built on AWS anyways, so it's not like there's big problem switching back and forth...
