Not surprised, Lightsail servers are just t2 burst instances rebranded.
Honestly, even using EC2 c4 (compute) or r3 (memory) instances it is hard to match the benchmarks of larger DigitalOcean droplets in terms of I/O. EBS is just really hard to get performance out of unless you use local disks and storage optimized instances.

It typically really pays off to benchmark your actual workloads on different instance types to figure out the best RPS/$ or whatever your metric is.
