You can run something compiled for x86 on AMD without modifications. That is not true for custom proprietary tools from cloud providers. All have more or less equivalent offerings but the cost to migrate are not negligible in a large number of cases. So lock in is more of a concern here.
And even with processor architectures, I have started considering ARM migration as ARM has started becoming more popular in cloud.
This is not to say I don't believe these tools have their benefits, just that the benefits need to be really weighed against the cost on lock-in, which in my opinion are quite understated with those who choose to use it without a second thought.
