you hit a sensible point which of course we all know but refuse to take into account: the more AWS provides, the more it does right, the more locked in you are in AWS. At some point everything will be AWS with zero commit back to any other project - stall. In fact when we reach that point it's going to be difficult for AWS to provide new things since everything AWS does is basically provide open source tools with a scaling, programmable deployment AND management model (basically what open source tools usually lack). Kinda scary when you think of it for too long.
