I imagine at the scale of Amazon replacing some of the core data stores with all their existing data is a quite complex task. Just think about the amount of data you need to migrate and keep in sync during the migration and all the third party tools using such data. So while it takes long, I don't think Amazon is particularly slow doing it.
