I agree with you; a lot of the reason it took us a while to get out of EC2 was my lack of comfort. If I had pushed that earlier many things would have been easier. There are so many great things about EC2, but it pushes the need to think about scaling earlier in many cases, which means that you're thinking about scaling when you still need to be concentrating 100% on product/market fit. We were very fortunate that the first product we built fit the market well, but if we had been wrong the delay could have cost us.
