It still doesn't actually block everything on those clouds. I can go get my own ASN, run my own edge server (or use a small CDN company not on your list) and use whatever I want on the back end for database, queue, backup, storage, compute, etc. All you'll know my IP is where the edge node is.

For users wanting to thwart pervasive CDNs from receiving packets every time they visit almost any site on the web, it's matters less if a service they visit is using an amazon resource on the back end; as long as all services aren't using the same database backend, this puts e.g. AWS back in the position of only having a little of your consumer/browsing information instead of nearly all of it.
