Amazon didn't invent AWS Dedicated Instances for security, they invented them for money. Now they can sell services to people who, for example, fall under HIPAA. And often those people don't care about security either--they just care about complying with regulation so they can do business. Security is pretty black and white. There are a limited number of people who have reason to look at your data. If people other than those people can see your data, then you aren't secure. Amazon is typically not part of that group.
