Correction: according to your link, only 28% of Eth nodes are running on AWS (1579 of 5632 - click "Network Types"). However, many of these are not mining nodes that secure the network (and therefore security of the blockchain), but instead are nodes run by dApp/web3 developers to handle things like indexing NFTs and the current state inside a smart contract.[1] It is easy to spin up a geth node for a task like this—and by default mining is not enabled. I haven't seen any stats on the total number of mining nodes and their network types. I agree that too much of the traffic is going through AWS, and I suspect all of these stats will need to be re-examined after the PoS Merge.
