I mean, if you are building it yourself but on top of their cloud, why does it matter to them? And, if you are building it yourself and you aren't using their cloud, then you are already being charged egress bandwidth fees as your awkward differentiator (which is an entirely different issue).
Like, the premise of these offerings has absolutely no need to try to compete with stuff running on AWS as they are clearly barely taking any excess margin over running it yourself. I would always have said the goal of these offerings was to make it easier to use AWS so you didn't have to build it yourself (and some of this stuff is complex to get right).
