The problem with AWS Workspaces for us was the price was just too damn high.

Their Graphics Pro instance was okay spec: 16 vCPU, 122 GB memory, 8 GB VRAM. But they charge $1000/month for it.

Our $3000 workstations beat it in every benchmark, sometimes by 3-5x and have a useful lifetime of at least three years.

I'm sure for some people, that is a valid trade off, but for us, it was just too much.
