Someone who is doing a cost comparison of running Wordpress and forums has absolutely no idea about any of those mentioned services and the power they bring. SQS is just such an amazing tool in a developer's toolkit that is one of those transformational pieces to how you write software. Combine that with Lambda to consume messages, S3 as your object storage, and Dynamo as your state management, and you unlock the capability of a single engineer to write applications that would have taken teams and teams of people only a few years ago. Again, does this mean anything to the Wordpress crowd? Probably not. But the ability to bring a new project to market quickly and grow that project is no longer bottlenecked by how fast you can get on your phone to your colo provider on Saturday night.
