Retail cloud setups provide standardization that hosting on bare metal may not. The irony of it is most of the cloud services are open-source technologies packaged up to be easy to use and administer from a web interface. Maybe if someone came up with a set of tooling in AWS to use many lightsail VMs to provide more of the basic AWS services, it could be a way to get the best of both worlds.
