Anyone who says that they aren’t “locked-in” hasn’t done a large migration and dealt with both the technical and organizational complexity of any large migration.
I’ve been involved with organizations that just literally wanted to do a “lift and shift” of 100s of VMs and databases. They were definitely didn’t have any “vendor lock in”. Guess how long it took? Guess how much regression testing it took and planning?

We were lucky we used fairly minimal managed services, mostly RDS and a tiny bit of SQS and Kinesis which were ported to Kafka as part of the move.
