Yeah, at least for us the value of AWS is not in "is it cheaper to run a boring old server here". It's in "how easily can we script and template all of our services and associated resources". It's in "when we need a highly durable and available queue, how much work/infra do we need". When you factor all that stuff in, no way it comes out cheaper to self host here. Just the couple full time employees we need to setup and maintain all the ancillary stuff would cost us more than our AWS bill.
