Except most people running their services on AWS are not using just the EC2 instances. I would even go as far as saying no one in their sane mind uses AWS just for EC2, at which point you are probably tied to the services you use. If Amazon goes full Unity, and you are lucky it's things that have alternative implementations like S3, if it's something like sagemaker you're fucked.

Y'all are fundamentally talking about different things and are failing to see why they are different.

Vendor lock in from proprietary software is not the same thing as vendor lock in from using vendors hardware.

Both are bad, but they are not the same, and conflating the two is misunderstanding the point. Just like the original meme misunderstood the point.
