People will bitch and moan and scream about this, but it's free and Gnome doesn't have the money to pay for it elsewhere.

It's a real problem in the FOSS world. Users don't want to pay, but they're very happy to demand features or for the devs/organisation to be run in a certain way or for them to spend a shit load on XYZ, all in order to be ideologically pure.

This is the real world. Unfortunately given their lack of capital, Gnome needs freebies for this, and AWS was offering.
