This is what I've been telling people for years. AWS and others' game is to get you locked into their proprietary stack of services. This is why when I built on the cloud I built it all legacy-style on EC2 with nightly backups to an on-site server so we can be running in very short order if anything should happen. Supposedly Parler did the same? I guess we will see how portable their stuff really is.
Now substitute in the water company, or the phone company, or the electric company. If one of them shut off service for no reason we’d feel differently, because that’s what we normally see as infrastructure.
Cancellation of contracts “for cause” is one thing, but this arbitrary path they’ve gone down reeks of despotism.
They aren't locked in. They built their system to be cloud agnostic and host agnostic. They just can't find anyone willing to host them because Google, Apple, and Amazon say No.
I was reading an article earlier too advocating for the government to ditch Amazon for RedHat's OpenShift for probably a similar reason. Companies like IBM, Oracle, and Redhat are going to be a lot less woke than some shitbag company like Amazon.
The worst part is that AWS makes up some retarded level of the available server capacity available for third parties. Like 25% or something. Microsoft and Google look like non players compared to them.

Oracle would probably go for it. Their CTO looks conservative from his Wikipedia page.
