I think kubernetes has partly been about not relaying directly on all these cloud services anymore. Sure AWS and friends have 200+ services that you could use, and if you do use all of them, it would be hard to move to oxide. Many applications don't depend on all that stuff, just vm, storage and db. Partly that is by design so the application can be deployed in different clouds. Also older application that moved to the cloud.
