You're correct that the knee jerk reactions are a bit over the top, but what is so interesting is how little the benefits of cloud are discussed here on HN. People who haven't used cloud native services think it's just EC2 and someone else's computer. But the idea of compute and data all being controlled through a single set of APIs, controlled by the same security syntaxes, is pretty incredible. Of course I'm a fan of the idea of on-prem alternatives, but the unified architecture is nice.
