Many amazon services are extremely pricey. I'm surprised they would go with a pure AWS stack.

Convenience, that's the word you're looking for. It's convenient to have everything in the same place, but also very dangerous.

AWS is pricey in bandwidth mostly, other services tend to be cheaper, especially if locked for 1 or 3 years.

Best thing to do as a site owner is to build your own stuff on your own servers, that way any VPS or dedicated server will do, and it's easy to migrate between providers.

In theory it might seem like that but I have to tell you on a lot of fronts AWS is absolute hell. Theory verses practice. It's very hit and miss if you'll truly gain that benefit.

Yep, that's how they get you, same with GCP or Azure.

There are better clouds with more transparent pricing and no traps like: Vultr and Linode. Or Upcloud and 99Stack in Europe.
