Doesn't really seem like a fair comparison since it relies on compression for the local storage to be cheaper. Comparing similarly sized EBS volumes + EC2 instance to the local storage instances and it is pretty much the exact same cost. Obviously local NVMe is going to smoke a networked replicated drive performance wise but that comes with it's own set of trade offs.
