Not all AWS instance types support NVMe drives. It's not the same as normal attached storage.
I'm not really sure your arguments are in good faith here tho.
This is just not a configuration you can trivially do while maintaining durability and HA.
There's a lot of hype going the exact opposite direction and more separation of storage and compute. This is our counter to that. We think even EBS is bad.
This isn't a setup that is naturally just going to beat a "real server" that also has local NVMes or whatever you'd do yourself. This is just not what things like RDS or Aurora do, etc. Most things rely on EBS which is significantly worse than local storages. We aren't really claiming we've invented something new here. It's just unique in the managed database space.
