It helps you trust the data protection and destruction policies of AWS less. If a disk goes bad, will it be wiped properly before being discarded for example? Or will your confidential data be recoverable by anyone at the landfill? What if an AWS DC tech identifies the bare metal your VM runs on and replaces a disk in the raid and takes the old one home? How good is their security to prevent that from happening? I can think a few ways of getting that past man trap xray scanners and all that physical security.
