I think it would not be impossible for a talented, well-funded group to pick the top 20% of AWS's services and then implement them with the top 80% of features, with an API-compatible layer.
Even "just" to emulate a single region with 3 AZs would be useful for testing and for prod for many people. I know of several large organizations that to this day haven't scaled their CI beyond one region.

Same deal with Azure and GCP, although note that Azure has Azure Stack, which is a self-hosted version of Azure (I guess it's still expensive though, and I don't know how many services it includes).
