I think "extremely limited" is hyperbole. The major clouds can all provide every service that 95% of applications need. If you're building something with unique needs that only one cloud can handle, then go ahead and use the advanced feature. A little bit of lock-in here and there for edge cases seems preferable to having your entire multi-billion dollar system deeply coupled to a single company's cloud.

AWS Lamba (server functions), dynamodb (hosted nosql) and aurora (hosted sql) are all pretty generic services, have significant auto-scaling benefits to using them, and have competitors on competing platforms. At the same time they are sufficiently differentiated that migration plans would be non-trivial Disclaimer: former aws employee
