I don't think so. We switched most our workloads from k8s to ECS (mix of EC2/Fargate launch types) because clusters were hard to maintain. Now everything is visible in Console and we now have tech support down to the ECS Task level. Before doing that, management pestered AWS about future of ECS. AWS insisted that it is actively developed, and lots of their internal stuff runs on ECS, not k8s.
You need to understand why AWS churns out silly services every month. Tomorrow there will be new HypedTech, and days later new AWS ElasticHypedTech service. It's just good business.
