Yes, I realize that. In my opinion, there's no qualitative difference between employees of AWS peeking into my data or employees that I hired peeking into my data. It's about trust in the end.

Anyone who has set up company email knows this. A lot of people think that having an in-house team manage a dedicated, on-premises mail server is somehow "better" or "more secure" than hiring Google or Microsoft or Ma&Pa Exchange Hosting to do it. Those people either: (1) have a reason to trust their employees that they don't have when it comes to Google/Microsoft/Ma&Pa, or (2) are living in a fantasy of their own delusions.
