The vast majority of researchers don't need anywhere close to the amount of resources that CERN needs. The fact that CERN doesn't use EC2 and lambdas shouldn't be taken as a lesson by anyone who's not operating at their scale. This feels like a similar argument to the one made by people who use Kubernetes to ensure their web app with 100 visitors a day is web scale.
