Thanks for this long thoughtful comment, this blog post is to talk about it, and think about it... I want Linux to win... I don't want us to just rely too much on the abstractions of vendors...
Unfortunately, one way or another, the moment your product starts to rely on a certain cloud provider, you're locked-in. If you're using multiple clouds, well, you're locked in multiple vendors. The only way out of it is to use self-built systems on self-owned hardware in a self-built datacenter. Starting from there, everything depends on the money you're able to spend on h/w and engineers, and thus on your scale. Then, take one step backward at a time until you reach the point when you can afford it. Rent a datacenter, rent hardware, rent EC2 instances/generic compute, and if you can't afford that - rent managed services.
